TL;DR: In this article, the authors described the ash concentration forecasting method, its rationale and how it evolved over time in response to new information and user requirements, and compared the predicted peak ash concentrations with observations obtained by ground-based and research aircraft instrumentation.

TL;DR: The Sun photometric data can be used to improve quantitative aerosol measurements by lidar in the Planetary Boundary Layer and can be retrieved experimentally by use of an iterative solution of the lidar equation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used X-ray fluorescence, ion chromatography, and thermal-optical methodology in order to quantify their elemental, ionic, and carbonaceous constituents.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported that during six flights of the Facility for Airborne Atmospheric Measurements BAe-146 research aircraft over the United Kingdom and the surrounding seas in May 2010, after the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull, the data highlight the very variable nature of the volcanic ash plume in both time and space.

TL;DR: In this article, the UK Met Office's Numerical Atmospheric Dispersion Modeling Environment (NAME) has been used to simulate the evolution of the ash cloud from the Eyjafjallajokull volcano during the initial phase of the eruption, 14-16 April 2010.
