The fate of volcanic ash: premature or delayed sedimentation?

The fate of volcanic ash: premature or delayed sedimentation?

Generally it is thought that ash aggregation leads to reduced atmospheric travel distances. Here, the authors show that the rafting effect can increase dispersal range by up to 3.7 times for particles between 300–500 μm, compared to sedimentation of individual clasts.
