Can we use weather radar to retrieve volcanic ash eruption clouds? A model and experimental analysis
Real-time areal mapping of a volcanic eruption, in terms of its intensity and dynamics, is usually not possible by conventional visual inspection, especially during poor visibility expected in those circumstances (Barberi et al., 1990). In order to monitor ash cloud patterns, aircraft observations have a limited value, due to their nonsystematic nature and inherent hazards for flights within an...
متن کاملThe Eyjafjöll explosive volcanic eruption from a microwave weather radar perspective
The sub-glacial Eyjafjöll explosive volcanic eruptions of April and May 2010 are analyzed and quantitatively interpreted by using ground-based weather radar data and the Volcanic Ash Radar Retrieval (VARR) technique. The Eyjafjöll eruptions have been continuously monitored by the Keflavík C-band weather radar, located at a distance of about 155 km from the volcano vent. Considering that the Eyj...
متن کاملUsing Wind Data to Predict the Risk of Volcanic Eruption: An Example from Damavand Volcano, Iran
Damavand volcano is located 60 km to the East North- East of Tehran. It is a dormant stratovolcano outcrop in the Alborz Mountains of northern Iran and is the highest mountain (5670 m) in the Middle East and West Asia. Mazandaran Province, one of the most populous provinces by population density, Semnan and Gorgan provinces further east are neighbours of the Damavand. Volcanism in Damavand goes...
متن کاملReal-Time C-Band Radar Observations of 1992 Eruption Clouds from Crater Peak, Mount Spurr Volcano, Alaska
Repeated aircraft hazards in Alaska related to volcanic clouds have resulted in the use of a mobile C-band radar devoted to volcanic-cloud monitoring. The radar is located at Kenai, in range of several volcanoes in the Cook Inlet area. Three significant eruptions from the Crater Peak vent of Mount Spurr volcano (about 80 km from Kenai) in 1992 provided the first tests of the radar. The system c...
متن کاملImproving Weather Radar Data Quality for Aviation Weather Needs*
A fundamental function of any aviation weather system is to provide accurate and timely weather information tailored to the specific air traffic situations for which a system is designed. Weather location and intensity are of prime importance to such systems. Knowledge of the weather provides “nowcasting” functionality in the terminal and en route air spaces. It also is used as input into aviat...
