Ash dispersal models

Ash dispersal models are tools used to predict how volcanic ash spreads in the atmosphere after an eruption. They take into account factors like wind speed, direction, and ash particle size. These models help scientists and emergency planners understand potential impacts on air travel, health, and the environment. By simulating different scenarios, they can provide valuable information for evacuations and safety measures. Accurate predictions are crucial for minimizing disruption and protecting communities from the effects of volcanic eruptions.
