Note that some material may be partly outdated, as details of the Service
have evolved over the years, with projects ending and other projects
starting.
Deliverables
- Validation reports of SACS2 and SMASH delivred to ESRIN/ESA in September 2013
SACS2 and SMASH are two ESA-funded projects with main objectives to develop and validate new algorithms for the quantitative retrieval of volcanic ash and SO2 plumes for polar orbiting satellite instruments.
These validation reports are for the Eyjafjallajökull (April 2010) and Grímsvötn (May 2011) test cases,
and the 2011 Etna lava fountains.
- Algorithm Theoretical Basis Document has been delivred to ESRIN/ESA in Dec 2010
- Product Validation Document has been delivred to ESRIN/ESA in Dec 2010
