Ash Dispersal Forecast and Civil Aviation Workshop - Model Benchmark Document

15 Feb 2011 | Publications | Contributor(s): Costanza Bonadonna, Arnau Folch

One of the main objectives of the IAVCEI-WMO Ash dispersal forecast and civil aviation workshop was to investigate the variability of existing Volcanic Ash Transport and Dispersal Models (VATDM) in order to identify new improved strategies of dispersal forecasting, e.g. probability/ensemble...

Ash Dispersal Forecast and Civil Aviation Workshop - Consensual Document

15 Feb 2011 | Publications | Contributor(s): Costanza Bonadonna, Arnau Folch

As a result of the serious consequences of the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption on civil aviation, more than 50 volcanologists, meteorologists, atmospheric dispersion modellers, and space and ground-based monitoring specialists from 12 different countries (including representatives from 6...

Transient behaviour simulation of large, explosive, and ignimbrite forming eruptions by a multiphase thermo fluid dynamic model

15 Feb 2011 | Presentations | Contributor(s): Simone Lepore

A multiphase thermo fluid dynamic model has been improved to assess the effect of a range of particle size on the transient two dimensional behaviour of large, explosive, and ignimbrite forming eruptions. The model accounts for mechanical and thermal non-equilibrium conditions between a...

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...
