Mapping the major axis of tephra dispersion with a mesoscale atmospheric model: Cerro Negro Volcano, Nicaragua
Models of tephra fallout are used to assess volcanic hazards in advance of eruptions and in near-real-time. Current models often approximate the wind field using simplistic assumptions of the atmosphere that cannot account for typical variations in wind velocity that occur in time and three-dimensio...
