Existing projects and activities do NOT address need for integrated volcanic ash observing system with ground-based, airborne and space-borne measurement capabilities  Current over reliance on satellite observations.  Further R&D required: – Lidar and ceilometer networks – Aerosol sondes & drop sondes – Aircraft mounted systems – UAS mounted systems  Existing capabilities currently mostly in research mode or not available in NRT  Differing data policies, standards, formats etc. Jan 2013Page 7CSA-SA WEZARD (285050) - General Assembly “Research and development of existing, new and evolving volcanic ash observing technologies and dissemination systems to underpin the future realization of an integrated European volcanic ash observing network.”
