Direct sampling of volcanic clouds
08 Feb 2011 | Presentations | Contributor(s): William I Rose
Volcanic clouds have only sporadically been directly sampled. Sampling is advantageous to validate remote sensing. Direct sampling was more common in the 1978-1984 period before the hazards to jet aircraft were understood and when piston aircraft sampling was more prevalent. This sampling...
