U.S.-Germany Cooperative Research: Simulation of the 1992 Mt. Spurr Eruptions with the Plume Model ATHAM

9815784Rose该奖项支持PI William Rose、密歇根理工大学的一名研究生以及阿拉斯加火山观测站的Game McGimsey与德国汉堡马克斯普朗克气象研究所的Hans F. Graf合作。研究重点是将从三次火山喷发的观测数据中获得的综合数据集与模拟火山羽流的新模型相结合。观测数据来自于火山口峰/山的喷发。包括地球物理、雷达、无线电探空仪、卫星、放射性尘埃和火山灰数据。新模型，主动示踪高分辨率大气模型（ATHAM）是迄今为止模拟火山羽流最复杂的尝试。这是一项跨学科的工作，德国大气科学小组和美国火山学小组之间的联系对该项目至关重要。合作的结果将是了解火山喷发对区域和全球地区的影响和影响。最终，这个项目产生的新能力将提高我们预测火山爆发危险影响的能力。

9815784RoseThis award supports the PI, William Rose, and a graduate student from the Michigan Technological University and Game McGimsey of the Alaska Volcano Observatory in a collaboration with Hans F. Graf of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg, Germany. The research focus is on combining a comprehensive data set, produced from observational data from three volcanic eruptions, with a new model for simulating volcanic plumes. The observational data come from eruptions at Crater Peak/Mt. Spurr in Alaska, and include geophysical, radar, radiosonde, satellite, fallout, and ash data. The new model, Active Tracer High Resolution Atmospheric Model (ATHAM) is the most sophisticated attempt yet to model a volcanic plume. This is an interdisciplinary effort, and contact between the German atmospheric science group and the U.S. volcanological group is essential to the project. The result of the collaboration will be an understanding of the influences and impact of volcanic emission on regional and global areas. Ultimately, the new capabilities deriving from this project will improve our ability to forecast the hazardous effects of volcanic eruptions.
