Site Description:
|
- This instrument is located on the roof of a building of the
Italian Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) located
at Nicolosi (Catania), a small village on the Southern flank of
Mt. Etna Volcano. The wind at the top of the volcano mainly blows
from North North-West so the instrument also will measure the
plume AOT. During the last few years many eruptions with ash clouds
(usually in the troposphere) were observed; the particle size
distribution may help volcanic cloud detection. Finally, many
dust events (from the Sahara desert) also were recently seen.
