| Summary: | The eruption of Eyjafjallajökull volcano in 2010 lasted for 39 days, 14 April–23 May. The eruption had two explosive phases separated by a phase with lava formation and reduced explosive activity. The height of the plume was monitored every 5 min with a C-band weather radar located in Keflavík International Airport, 155 km distance from the volcano. Furthermore, several web cameras were mounted with a view of the volcano, and their images saved every five seconds. Time series of the plume-top altitude were constructed from the radar observations and images from a web camera located in the village Hvolsvöllur at 34 km distance from the volcano. This paper presents the independent radar and web camera time series and performs cross validation. ... : The plume-top altitude during the volcanic eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in Iceland, April-May 2010, was measured by a weather radar and web camera. This high resolution temporal data is being used by many researchers as input into models as constraints on volume erupted and distribution of ash. ... |
