Comment:
Measured at Keflavik International Airport (64.03 N, -22.64 W), 154 km distance from the volcano. Time resolution is 5 minutes.
Codes:
1000: Below - Plume-top is below radar minimum detection height (about 2.9 km),
2000: Obscured - Plume-top could not be determined from radar data because of precipitating clouds at the volcano,
9999: Missing - Radar data is missing.
