Impact on aircraft 2 Volcanic ash is hard and abrasive Volcanic ash can cause engine failure > 126 incidents of encounters with ash clouds since 1935 Ash-encounter (AE) severity index ranging from 0 (no notable damage) to 5 (engine failure leading to crash) Difficult to predict what a safe level of ash concentration is for aircraft to fly through

Volcanic Ash Transport and Dispersion (VATD) Models

RACER: Robust Assessment and Communication of Environmental Risk Volcanic ash strand aims: 1. Develop a methodology for assessing source, parameter and structural uncertainty in dispersion models 2. Quantify the relative importance of different sources of uncertainty and hence identification of measurements needed to constrain uncertainty. 3. Combine multiple uncertainties into a single probabilistic volcanic ash forecast. 7

Framework for quantifying uncertainty 8 Expert Elicitation: choose parameters and their ranges Experimental Design: choose parameters and their ranges Run perturbed parameter ensemble Build emulator for each grid box and output variable Test emulator against simulator Full variance based sensitivity analysis using emulator Following Lee et al. (2011)

Expert Elicitation Spread over 3 sessions 2 experts from Met Office (plus input from other members of the dispersion group), Nathan Huntley (Durham) Facilitator : Andy Hart Target output: column integrated mass loading Considered over 20 different parameters 9

Experimental design Case study 14 May 2010 – lots of observations Maximum information in fewest runs –Latin hypercube sampling (other sampling methods are available!) Good marginal coverage and space filling properties 10 Parameter Normalised parameter value

Emulation This is part of the process is being performed at Durham The 100 training runs are being used to build the emulator A further 200 runs are being completed as I speak! Initial findings: –It is relatively easy to emulate simple summaries (e.g. total ash predicted in a particular region at a particular time). –The parameters that have the most influence are: plume height emission rate fraction of large particles Ppt_crit - parameter governing when the precipitation rate is large enough to contribute to wet deposition 11

Probabilistic Forecast? 13

Probabilistic Forecast? 14 Threshold: 2mg/m 3 Ash layer depth: 100m Threshold: 2mg/m 3 Ash layer depth: 1000m Is there a way to evaluate these probabilistic forecasts?

Does the ensemble perform better than the best guess simulation? 15 Fractions Skill Score (FSS) Compares fractional coverage in forecast with fractional coverage in observations over different neighbourhoods

Does the ensemble perform better than the best guess simulation? 16 FSS Time 200km Neighbourhood

Future Work 17 Further develop emulator to enable the quantification of relative importance of different sources of uncertainty within the model Develop a framework to assess the structural uncertainty in the NAME model Quantify the uncertainty associated with the meteorological forecasts Develop methods of evaluating probabilistic forecasts Design of ensembles for emergency response?
