Abstract:

A large volcanic eruption can produce large amounts of volcanic ash,water vapor and heat,and form the volcanic ash cloud. The volcanic ash cloud is mainly composed of volcanic ash debris in diameter less than 2mm and gases including SO2, H2S,CO2,the mixture of the two can form acidic aerosols which can stay in the atmosphere for a long time. It not only destructs the balance of earth's surface solar radiation and causes the depletion of the ozone layer,the greenhouse effect,air pollution,acid rain,anomalies of air temperature and precipitation,and other major global climate and environmental changes,but also damages and corrodes the structure of an aircraft,reduces the visibility and jams the radio communication system. The most serious problem is that the volcanic ash debris particles are capable of cooling and adhering to the aircraft engine blades after high-temperature melting,resulting in the flameout of aircraft engine. Under the background of globalization and the boom of air-transport industry,the volcanic ash cloud is a serious threat to aviation safety. Remote sensing technology can quickly and accurately obtain the information of the surface's and the atmosphere's changes,therefore it is playing an important role in monitoring volcanic activity. In recent years,with the advancement of sensor technology,the thermal infrared remote sensing technology has become an important means of monitoring the volcanic ash cloud. Currently,there have been a variety of remote sensors for volcanic ash cloud monitoring. Meanwhile,based on that,a series of volcanic ash cloud monitoring algorithms have also been developed for different remote sensors. However,most of the volcanic ash cloud monitoring algorithms have limitations of a low accuracy and a narrow scope. This paper tries to conduct a more comprehensive overview of the different types of remote sensors and the different algorithms for volcanic ash cloud monitoring. First,the damage of volcanic ash cloud to the natural environment and aviation safety is expounded; secondly,with the volcanic ash cloud remote sensing monitoring platform,this study systematically introduces the remote sensing sensor types of volcanic ash cloud remote sensing monitoring and the development situation of monitoring methods,and focuses on the moderate resolution imaging spectradiometer(MODIS)sensor which has better volcanic ash cloud monitoring effect; then,the research foundation of volcanic ash cloud remote sensing monitoring in China is reviewed; and finally the prospect and thoughts of their further development are discussed.

Key words: volcanic ash cloud, remote sensing monitoring, aviation safety, summarization
