Volcanic aerosol layer formed in the tropical upper troposphere by the eruption of Mt. Merapi, Java, in November 2010 observed by the spaceborne lidar CALIOP

Examining the influence of meteorological simulations forced by different initial and boundary conditions in volcanic ash dispersion modelling

“…Space-borne remote sensing has long been a key tool in volcanic ash detection and monitoring (e.g., Shibata and Kinoshita, 2016). Meteorological and volcanic ash cloud discrimination using remote sensing is based on average properties of volcanic aerosols (Prata, 1989;Yu et al, 2002).…”
