In this article, the authors performed intensively over the Iberian Peninsula (IP) during the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano (Iceland) in April-May 2010.Abstract:
. Lidar and sun-photometer measurements were performed intensively over the Iberian Peninsula (IP) during the eruption of the Eyjafjallajokull volcano (Iceland) in April–May 2010. The volcanic plume reached all the IP stations for the first time on 5 May 2010. A thorough study of the event was conducted for the period 5–8 May. Firstly, the spatial and temporal evolution of the plume was described by means of lidar and sun-photometer measurements supported with backtrajectories. The volcanic aerosol layers observed over the IP were rather thin (read more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors retrieve mass concentrations of volcanic ash from the lidar measurements; spectral optical properties, i.e., extinction coefficients, backscatter coefficients, and linear depolarization ratios, are used as input for an inversion algorithm searching for model aerosol ensembles with optical properties that agree with the measured values within their uncertainty ranges.
