Particle-filter-based volcanic ash emission inversion applied to a hypothetical sub-Plinian Eyjafjallajökull eruption using the Ensemble for Stochastic Integration of Atmospheric Simulations (ESIAS-chem) version 1.0
A particle-filter-based inversion system is presented, which enables us to derive time- and altitude-resolved volcanic ash emission fluxes along with its uncertainty. The system assimilates observations of volcanic ash column mass loading as retrieved from geostationary satellites. It aims to estima...

A particle-filter-based inversion system is presented, which enables us to derive time- and altitude-resolved volcanic ash emission fluxes along with its uncertainty. The system assimilates observations of volcanic ash column mass loading as retrieved from geostationary satellites. It aims to estimate the temporally varying emission profile endowed with error margins. In addition, we analyze the dependency of our estimate on wind field characteristics, notably vertical shear, within variable observation intervals. Thus, the proposed system addresses the special challenge of analyzing the vertical profile of volcanic ash clouds given only 2D high temporal-resolution column mass loading data as retrieved by geostationary satellites. The underlying method rests on a linear combination of height–time emission finite elements of arbitrary resolution, each of which is assigned to a model run subject to ensemble-based space–time source inversion.
