摘要
The sub-glacial Plinian explosive eruption of the Grimsvotn volcano on May 2011 was continuously monitored by the Keflavik C-band weather radar, located at a distance of about 260 km from the volcano vent. This work provides an analysis and quantitative interpretation by using these ground-based weather radar data and the Volcanic Ash Radar Retrieval (VARR) physically-based technique. The VARR methodology, herein briefly summarized, was applied to available radar time series to estimate the volume, mass and the plume maximum height, every 5 minutes. Deposited ash at ground was also retrieved from radar data by empirically reconstructing the vertical profile of radar reflectivity and estimating the near-surface ash fallout. The obtained results establish a further step towards the assessment of the VARR algorithm as an effective approach in the field volcanic ash cloud radar remote sensing.
