Abstract

Abstract : Due to its massive air traffic impact, the 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajökull was felt by millions of people and cost airlines more than U.S. $1.7 billion. The event has, thus, become widely cited in renewed efforts to improve real‐time tracking of volcanic plumes, as witnessed by special sections published last year in Journal of Geophysical Research, ( 117, issues D20 and B9).
