The 39-day long eruption at the summit of Eyjafjallajökull volcano in April–May 2010 was modest size but ash widely dispersed. By combining data from ground surveys and remote sensing we show that erupted material 4.8±1.2·1011 kg (benmoreite trachyte, dense rock equivalent volume 0.18±0.05 km3). About 20% lava water-transported tephra, 80% airborne tephra (bulk 0.27 km3) transported by 3–10 km high plumes. mostly fine (diameter <1000 µm). At least 7·1010 (70 Tg) very (<28 µm), several times...
Abstract The 2014–2015 Bárðarbunga‐Veiðivötn fissure eruption at Holuhraun produced about 1.5 km 3 of lava, making it the largest in Iceland more than 200 years. Over course eruption, daily volcanic sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) emissions exceeded SO from all anthropogenic sources Europe 2010 by least a factor 3. We present surface air quality observations across Northern together with satellite remote sensing data and model simulations for September 2014. show that was transported lowermost...
The 2010 Eyjafjallajökull lasted 39 days and had 4 different phases, of which the first third (14–18 April 5–6 May) were most intense. Most this period was dominated by winds with a northerly component that carried tephra toward Europe, where it deposited in number locations sampled rain gauges or buckets, surface swabs, sticky‐tape samples air filtering. In UK, collected from each Phases 1–3 combined range latitudes spanning length country. modal grain size gauge 25 μ m, but largest grains...
The fragmentation process and aerodynamic behavior of ash from the Eyjafjallajökull eruption 2010 are investigated by combining grain‐size, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), quantitative particle morphology. Ash samples were collected on land in Iceland at 3–55 km distance volcanic vent, represent various phases pulsating eruption. grain size is fine even for deposits close to suggesting that parent population consisted a substantial amount ash. SEM investigation reveals produced during...
Abstract This study examines the sensitivity of atmospheric dispersion model forecasts volcanic ash clouds to physical characteristics assigned particles. We show that particle size distribution (PSD) used initialise a has significant impact on forecast mass loading particles in atmosphere. is because modeled fall velocity sensitive diameter. Forecasts long‐range transport cloud consider with diameters between 0.1 μm and 100 μm. The diameter over 5 orders magnitude greater than μm, 30 88%...

Abstract. There is a large discrepancy between the size of volcanic ash particles measured on ground at least 500 km from their source volcano (known as cryptotephra) and those reported by satellite remote sensing (effective radius 0.5–9 μm; 95% < 17 μm diameter). Here we present new results fields tephrochronology (a dating technique based layers), dispersion modelling in an attempt to understand why. A literature review measurements prehistoric recent eruptions were used characterise...
