Models

Volcanic Ash Advisory Models

National Environmental Research Institute Denmark

The graphics show the amount of air pollution from ground level until 20 km height on a relative scale, where red is the most polluted. The difference between the colours is a factor 10. NERI has assumed that the volcano has emitted the plume to a height of 5-7 km. Please note that the model works in UTC-time. Central European summertime = UTC + 2 hours.

ESA Model

  • ESA Model for Ash Deposition This animation shows the movement of the ash plume from the eruption of the Eyjafjallajoekull glacier in Iceland.

NILU Model

Norwegian Institue for Air Research - Model - The animations shows dispersion of the eruption from the volcano Eyjafjallajökull.

The animation from Oslo and Bergen also includes the episode from Thursday April 15, where citizens in Bergen and Oslo reported they could smell sulfphur from the eruption in Iceland.

The information in the models has been derived by a model using SO2 as particle tracer for the ash plume. Please note that the time is given in UTC and that the model only includes emissions after 1700 on April 14.

EO-1 Hyperion

From Stu Frye: EO-1 Hyperion image from yesterday [4/17] of the Iceland volcano shown as two side-by-side panels produced from two different spectral ranges,...the left one is SWIR and the right one is visible. In the SWIR, you can see the thermal vent and in the vis you can see the plume coating everything to the SouthEast making the ice brown/gray
