A Near-Real-Time Method for Estimating Volcanic Ash Emissions Using Satellite Retrievals

We present a Bayesian inversion method for estimating volcanic ash emissions using satellite retrievals of ash column load and an atmospheric dispersion model. An a priori description of the emissions is used based on observations of the rise height of the volcanic plume and a stochastic model of th...
