Tephra transport models try to predict atmospheric dispersion and sedimentation of tephra
depending on meteorology, particle properties, and eruption characteristics, defined by …

The April–May 2010 eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano (Iceland) was characterized by a
nearly continuous injection of tephra into the atmosphere that affected various economic …

Satellite measurements of volcanic sulfur dioxide (SO 2) emissions can provide critical
information for aviation hazard mitigation, particularly when ash detection techniques fail …

A fully automated, globally applicable algorithm to retrieve ash and dust cloud properties
from infrared satellite measurements is presented. The algorithm, which will serve as the …

Remote sensing instruments have been used to identify, track and in some cases quantify
atmospheric constituents from space-borne platforms for nearly 30 years. These data have …

Between 14 April and 25 May, 2010, Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland erupted a large
amount of fine grained ash. Dispersion models and satellite data were used to identify the …

Atmospheric aerosols impact air quality and global climate. Space based measurements are
the best way to observe their spatial and temporal distributions, and can also be used to …
