Monitoring volcanic ash cloud top height through simultaneous retrieval of optical data from polar orbiting and geostationary satellites

Abstract: Volcanic ash cloud-top height (ACTH) can be monitored on the global level using satellite remote sensing. Here we propose a photogrammetric method based on the parallax between data retrieved from geostationary and polar orbiting satellites to overcome some limitations of the existing methods of ACTH retrieval. SEVIRI HRV band and MODIS band 1 are a good choice because of their high resolution. The procedure works well if the data from both satellites are retrieved nearly simultaneously. MODIS does not retriev… Show more

“…Ash layers were observed from a large set of measurement instruments, allowing for tracking the volcanic ash cloud movement over Europe (Gasteiger et al, 2011a;Zakšek et al, 2013;Mona et al, 2012;Dacre et al, 2013;Waquet et al, 2014). Using images from the geostationary instrument SEVIRI (Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager) the spatial extend of the ash cloud and its movement could be tracked and compared to the measurement of ground-based instruments (see Fig.…”

“…BT methods are based on comparing the measured plume BT to atmospheric temperature profiles, and the absorption technique uses the wavelength dependence of CO 2 , but these methods generally do not provide the same accuracy as the purely geometric stereo matching methods. These alternative methods have recently been discussed, e.g., by Zakšek et al (2013) and Ekstrand et al (2013).…”
