What is it about?

Predict volcano eruptions is a topical issue that has been engaging scientists for a long time without an unambiguous consent. More powerful and pragmatic actions, is nowadays given by the use of forecast tools that allow timely forecasting the impact of volcanoes after eruptions. In this respect, the study focuses on a radar-based technique to improve the real time knowledge of some key volcano parameters which are useful to describe the movement of the ash clouds using some software forecast tools.

Why is it important?

The study combines for the first time dual polarization and Doppler information derived by an X-band weather radar in order to indirectly estimate the mass eruption rate of volcanic eruption.
