Utilising a LIDAR to detect volcanic ash in the near‐field
Abstract Although many LIDAR systems in the UK and Continental Europe observed ash during the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption, no LIDAR was located in Iceland and the question regarding whether LIDARs have potential for near‐field monitoring of explosive eruptions remained unanswered. A LIDAR was the...
