Improving volcanic ash predictions with the HYSPLIT dispersion model by assimilating MODIS satellite retrievals

Currently, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Weather Service (NWS) runs the HYSPLIT dispersion model with a unit mass release rate to predict the transport and dispersion of volcanic ash. The model predictions provide information for the Volcanic Ash Advisory Center...
