The ash cloud from the Icelandic volcano Eyjafjallajökull reached the Iberian Peninsula, airspace was temporarily closed and airports came to a standstill all over Europe in May 2010. The path of the volcanic cloud was followed at that time by scientists using laser detectors sun photometers, satellites, and other equipment. Two years later, the results and models that will enable aversion of such consequences due to such natural disasters have been published in the Atmospheric Environment Journal.
