AB - The global spread of volcanic dust from the Mt. Agung eruption of 17 March 1963 is assessed on the basis of the decrement of direct solar radiation. The initial injection at 8°S lodged an equatorial reservoir in the stratosphere at a height of 22–23 km. Most of the dust remained in the Southern Hemisphere, but a significant fraction entered the lower Northern Hemisphere stratosphere. Seasonal effects appeared in both hemispheres, the apparent dust amounts showing a ‘winter’ maximum of constant amplitude in any one season with a poleward progression of 40 cm sec−1 between 30° and 90° latitude. At 15°N, seasonal effects were also evident but significantly out of phase with the sequence at higher latitudes, suggesting a hand‐over in the horizontal transport process at 20°–30° latitude.
