Big grains go far: understanding the discrepancy between tephrochronology and satellite infrared measurements of volcanic ash
There is a large discrepancy between the size of volcanic ash particles measured on the ground at least 500 km from their source volcano (known as cryptotephra) and those reported by satellite remote sensing (effective radius of 0.5–9 μm; 95% of particles < 17 μm diameter). Here we present new re...
