This course is good. like the volcano image

• Utilize available remote sensing, model data and observations to evaluate the presence of volcanic ash.
• Describe the strengths and weaknesses of various satellite and radar products.
• Forecast volcanic ash transport and dispersion using all available observations and model output.
• Use HYSPLIT model output to determine areas that will be affected by volcanic ash.
• Develop forecast products that inform customers of potential volcanic ash hazards.

volcanic ash, volcanic ash plume, ash plume height, ash plume drift, tools, dispersion model, HYSPLIT, split window, satellite monitoring, sulfur dioxide product, false color imagery, principal component imagery, pilot reports, webcams, reflectance product, ash fall

November 6, 2013: The Introduction section contains new information about World Volcanic Observatories, Volcanic Ash Advisory Centers, and Aviation Color Codes. The section on Identifying Presence of Ash includes new examples focusing on the 2011 eruption of Puyehue Cordón-Caulle in Chile. The Puyehue Cordón-Caulle eruption is also used in the Plume Spread and Issuing Products sections.
