Abstract
The Icelandic Volcano, Eyjafjallajokull, started erupting on 14th April 2010. The volcanic ash cloud produced covered much of Northern Europe for several weeks causing extensive disruption to air travel. The UK and European atmospheric communities had many instruments - both airborne and ground-based, remote sensing and in-situ - taking measurements of the ash cloud throughout this period. This dataset contains meteorology and chemistry measurements from the NERC Airborne Research and Survey Facilitiy's (ARSF) DO228-101 D-CALM Aircraft.
