               Volc2Clim is a webtool to calculate aerosol optical properties, global-mean radiative forcing and changes in global-mean surface temperature in response to volcanic sulfur emitted by explosive volcanic eruptions. It combines three simple and peer-reviewed models:

The VCI is a scale that measures the magnitude of the volcanic climate response and takes values from 0 to 6+. It is similar to the Richter scale for the magnitude of earthquakes or the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) for the explosivity of volcanic eruptions.
