Volcanic ash :
Volcanic ash : hazard observation /
edited by Shona Mackie [and others]
- First Edition
- ix, 288 pages : illustrations ; 28 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index
1 Introduction -- 2 Volcanic ash : generation and spatial variations -- 3 Observation of ash on the ground -- 4 Observations of ash in the air -- 5 Aircraft and ground-based remote sensing of ash -- 6 Observing airborne ash from space -- 7 Conclusions and future directions.
Volcanic Ash: Hazard Observation presents an introduction followed by four sections, each on a separate topic and each containing chapters from an internationally rewned pool of authors. The introduction provides a volcalogical context for ash generation that sets the stage for the development and interpretation of techniques presented in subsequent sections. The book begins with an examination of the methods to characterize ash deposits on the ground, as ash deposits on the ground have generally experienced some atmospheric transport. This section will also cover basic information on ash morphology, density, and refractive index, all parameters required to understand and analyze assumptions made for both in situ measurements and remote sensing ash inversion techniques. Sections two, three, and four focus on methods for observing volcanic ash in the atmosphere using ground-based, airborne, and spaceborne instruments respectively. Throughout the book, the editors showcase t only the interdisciplinary nature of the volcanic ash problem, but also the challenges and rewards of interdisciplinary endeavors. Additionally, by bringing together a broad perspective on volcanic ash studies, the book t only ties together ground-, air-, academic, and applied approaches to the volcanic ash problem, but also engages with other scientific communities interested in particulate transport.
