Particle filter based volcanic ash emission inversion applied to a hypothetical sub-Plinian Eyjafjallajökull eruption using the chemical component of the Ensemble for Stochastic Integration of Atmospheric Simulations (ESIAS-chem) version 1.0
Abstract. A particle filter based inversion system to derive time- and altitude-resolved volcanic ash emission fluxes along with its uncertainty is presented. For the underlying observation information only vertically integrated ash load data as provided by retrievals from nadir looking imagers moun...
