The Kelut (Kelud) volcano (7.9S, 112.3E) in the Java island of Indonesia erupted on 13 February 2014. The CALIOP observed that the eruption cloud reached 26km above sea level. We have observed this stratospheric aerosol from 28 February 2014 at equatorial lidar site located in the Sumatra island of Indonesia (0.2S, 100.3E). We observed the depolarization maximum to be up to 2km below the backscatter maximum in April 2014. We also observed the vertical transportation process of stratospheric aerosol to troposphere by equatorial Kelvin wave.
