<abstract>
<p>Satellite remote sensing is crucial for monitoring volcanic sulfur dioxide (SO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt;) globally. However, the rapid evolution of volcanic plumes necessitates high-frequency observations, which typical twice-daily overpasses of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) sensors fail to capture. To address this limitation, this study presents a synergistic Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) and LEO observation framework. Specifically, we show the first quantitative SO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; retrieval from a GEO hyperspectral infrared sounder (FY-4B/GIIRS), using an optimal-estimation-based retrieval algorithm. Because current and upcoming GEO infrared sounders lack the strong &lt;em&gt;&amp;nu;&lt;/em&gt;3 absorption band, our algorithm uniquely leverages the weaker &lt;em&gt;&amp;nu;&lt;/em&gt;1 absorption band. Simulation experiments indicate that the detection limit (retrieval error &amp;gt; 100 %) is 3 DU for plumes at 10 km altitude. During the June 2024 Kanlaon eruption, GIIRS captured early, high-concentration plume dynamics, though tracking diluted plumes remained challenging. Crucially, it provided the earliest satellite detection by continuously monitoring the initial nighttime burst (posterior error of 53.7 &amp;plusmn; 24.1 %), filling critical temporal gaps left by ultraviolet sensors. Combined with LEO (HIRAS, IASI, CrIS, TROPOMI and MLS) and GEO sensor (GEMS), the synergistic framework achieved high frequency quantification of SO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; mass loading and transport pathways. We estimated a peak SO&lt;sub&gt;2&lt;/sub&gt; mass loading of &amp;sim;40 kt and an e-folding time of 5.2 &amp;plusmn; 0.5 days. Furthermore, multi-platform observations identified significant discrepancies in the CAMS global model regarding the plume&apos;s evolution and magnitude. This geostationary-driven synergistic framework delivers high-fidelity observational records, establishing a robust basis for monitoring moderate-scale volcanic events and evaluating atmospheric chemical transport models.</p>
