The eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano in April-May 2010 was continuously monitored by the Keflavik C-band weather radar. The Keflavik radar is located at a distance of about 156 km from the volcano vent, and it has sensitivity of about -5 dBZ at 2-km range resolution over the volcanic area. T...
