1. Eruption Source Parameters of volcanic jets and ash plumes: radar and disdrometer measurements

Eruption Source Parameters controlling the plume dynamics as well as ash dispersal and fallout are crucial to initialize ash dispersal models and forecast the impact of ash on air trafic, populations and infrastructures. They can be retrieved from measurements of ground-based radars and disdrometers deployed near the volcano, a field of expertise of OPGC-LMV through its unique platform of ground-based transportable instruments: VOLDORAD.

The source term of ash plumes retrieved from high-resolution radar scans

 Reflectivity scans measured inside eruptive column of an ash plume of Sabancaya volcano (Peru) using mm-wave radar VOLDORAD-3 (ClerVolc project). In addition to providing plume height and width, radar reflectivities reflect the particle mass internal distribution and can be converted to ash concentrations (e.g. up to 1 g/m3 Stromboli’s weak plumes) using proximal records of ash fallout from disdrometers (Freret-Lorgeril et al., 2019) or by modelling the electromagnetic backscattering when particle size distribution can be constrained (Gouhier & Donnadieu, 2008). Doppler velocities are also measured, providing internal particle velocities and exit velocities.

Methodological development : Mass Eruption Rate

Our monitoring radar on Etna (VOLDORAD-2B) provides time series of echo power and Doppler velocities of lava fountain-fed tephra plumes (VOLDORAD database ~60 paroxysms). Calibration using a plume model matching observed plume heights provides tephra Mass Eruption Rates at Etna, potentially in real-time, a major achievement of the EUROVOLC project (collab. INGV-OE). Total erupted mass are found to commonly reach 108-109 kg, 75% being released during the climax (15-20 min) with MER reaching 105-106 kg/s (Freret-Lorgeril et al., 2018).

Lava jets: at-vent velocities, gas fluxes, tephra mass

Transportable UHF Doppler radar (VOLDORAD-2) aiming at the vent of Yasur volcano (Vanuatu). High rate measurements reveal pyroclast exit velocities in the range 50-320 m/s, slightly higher than Stromboli (Chevalier et Donnadieu, 2015). From measured maximum velocities (red curve) and vent diameter, explosive degassing fluxes can be estimated (4*105 m3/h). Mie diffusion modelling of the radar backscattered power (blue curve) provides masses of ejecta ranging from many hundreds of kg to several tens of tons per explosion.

Ash dispersal forecast using radar retrievals

Transport modelling (WRF-Chem) of volcanic emissions (ash, SO2) using the radar-derived near-vent tephra Mass Eruption Rate in input leads to improved dispersal forecast, particularly for short-lived eruptions with large source rate fluctuations such Etna paroxysms, as verified from satellite MSG SEVIRI images for the 23 November 2013 eruption (Donnadieu et al., 2021). Echo power (lower curves) and Doppler velocities (upper left curves) of lava fountain-fed tephra plumes are measured above the eruptive craters by our L-band monitoring radar at Etna (VOLDORAD-2B). Near-vent vertical ejection velocities of lava fountains, for instance, can exceed 300 m/s (Donnadieu et al., 2016, 2005). See below the numerical simulation of ash dispersal over Mediterraean area over days following such an eruption (© Umberto Rizza, ISAC-CNR); these results improve our knowledge of environmental impacts from volcanic pollutants released in the atmosphere and help assess hazards from short-lived explosive eruptions (air trafic, environment, health etc).

Other animated gif movies from sequences of paroxysms at Etna here (from Rizza, Donnadieu et al., 2023).

PM10 ash dispersal simulation maps show that the very fine ash (<10 microns) from Etna eruption sequences easily contaminate the airspace around the volcano within a radius of about 1000 km in a matter of a few days. Synoptic patterns with relatively weak tropospheric currents lead to the accumulation of PM10 ash at a regional scale all around Etna.

2. Processes controlling the dynamics of ash plumes and fallout

Collective sedimentation from wind-affected ash plumes

Disdrometer data highlighted pulsatory phases of increased proximal sedimentation rate from transient weak dilute plumes (A), consistent with reflectivity variations inside ash plumes measured by mm-wave radar (B). From time series of both instruments and simple analog experiments, we developed a conceptual model for intermittent collective sedimentation from wind-affected ash plumes (C; Freret-Lorgeril et al., 2020) whereby the dynamics of wind-driven rolls in ash clouds can govern the production of gravitational instabilities and the occurrence and timing of ash fingers that form descending sediment thermals in turn. This study suggests that ambient wind should affect the maximum size and minimum concentration of ash particles needed to form fingers but also control where and when fingers form at the base of wind-drifted ash plumes. These novel predictions should contribute to better assess hazards related to fine ash dispersal from the most frequent style of eruptions.

3. Geophysics in support of studies in volcanology, geology, archeology, hydrogeology, environment

Aside from my main research on tephra plumes, I contribute to geophysical surveys either in the frame of large projects involving heavy field deployments or of local studies in archeogeophysics, volcanology, geology and hydrogeology.

As a CNAP researcher in an Observatory (OPGC), a third of my time is statutorily devoted to collective tasks serving the scientific community : in my case, the management of the VOLDORAD service in the frame of the french National Service of Observations in Volcanology (SNOV). This platform comprises instrumental development of radars and disdrometers for operational field deployment and measurement campaigns, and elaboration of open-access data bases from collected observations; sensors and data bases are made available to the scientific community and mainly used in the volcanology and atmospheric fields. See some illustrations of results in my Research page. This activity receives strong support from OPGC engineers and transverse services, with funding from SNOV (CNRS INSU).

As a volcanologist I also contribute to the volcano monitoring of Etna, Soufrière de Guadeloupe, and punctually to back up monitoring duties of the french volcano Observatories of Piton de la Fournaise and Mayotte (OVPF).

X-ray tomography of lapilli from Tajogaite volcano

(Cumbre Vieja, La Palma)

Ever travelled across a volcanic lapilli ?
⇒ clik on left image to discover the 3D volume distribution of cristals imaged by the X-Ray Tomograph of the LMV CarMa platform (courtesy Simon Falvard, LMV)
 
This sample is a large scoriaceous lapilli (3 cm long) from the Tajogaite (Cumbre Vieja) 2021 Strombolian eruption  (F. Donnadieu, J. de Paoli) in La Palma (Canaria islands). Cristals having a different atomic density from glass and gas bubbles/air, they show up with a different opacity to the X-rays and are displayed by thresholding the images, then assembled to form a 3D volume.

An artist’s view of Ground-Penetrating Radar data

When brilliant artist Scott Hessels plays around with ground-penetrating radar echoes (left, 400MHz top view image at 1.5 m in depth) from archeological remains below Place de la Victoire at Clermont Ferrand (Project Below Victory), an awesome piece of artwork is created where digital data are trapped inside an amber gemstone (right, © Scott Hessels)

The Chambois quarry in lava flow from Puy de Côme

Beautiful fluidality textures at the margin of the Puy de Côme lava flow, as seen from the quarry, showing alternation of lava layers, some of which are rich in elongated gas bubbles. Lava is cut into blocks to shape decorative lava stones. Highly esthetical texture effects are created at the surface of the blocks by melting lava rock powder in a furnace.
