Stereoscopic Estimation of Volcanic Ash Cloud-Top Height from Two Geostationary Satellites

The characterization of volcanic ash clouds released into the atmosphere during explosive eruptions includes cloud height as a fundamental physical parameter. A novel application is proposed of a method based on parallax data acquired from two geostationary instruments for estimating ash cloud-top h...
