ICELAND-VOLCANO-AVIATION
A photo released on May 17, 2010 shows an image captured by NASA?s Earth Observing-1 (EO-1) satellite on May 13, 2010 of the eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjoell volcano. Near the upper left corner of this image, round, slightly elongated ash plume appears. The puffball appears to tower over another ash plume that fans out toward the southeast. According to May 13 bulletin from the Icelandic Meteorological Office, winds were calm over the Eyjafjallaj?kull eruption site, but air was unstable to the south. The difference in air stability would explain the difference in ash plumes in this image. The satellite likely passed overhead shortly after a fresh burst of activity from the volcano, before winds had a chance to disperse the latest plume of ash.
