The Institute notes in its social media post that observe the phenomenon, as low clouds of ash and gas affect the signal from the Observatory’s PollyXT lidar system, which has been operating since June 208 at the PAGAIA Observatory.
The Institute developed a early warning system for the transport of volcanic ash and sulfate suspensions and through data processing has the ability to provide predictions about these phenomena.
