plumeria PMAP software release 1.0.3
March 25, 2023
The PMAP tool is a one-dimensional plume model that predicts ash aggregation within an erupting volcanic plume. The tool was developed by D. W. Hoffman at Stanford, extending from the Plumeria model written by L. G. Mastin at USGS CVO. The code operates using Matlab.
The purpose of this repository is to present the code used in the following publication, currently under review at Journal of Geophyscal Research
Hoffman, D.W., Mastin, L.G., Van Eaton, A.R., Solovitz, S.A., Cal, R.B., and Eaton, J.K., in review, A 1-D volcanic plume model for predicting ash aggregation

A one-dimensional volcanic plume model for predicting ash aggregation
During explosive volcanic eruptions, volcanic ash is ejected into the atmosphere, impacting aircraft safety and downwind communities. These volcanic clouds tend to be dominated by fine ash (<63 μm in diameter), permitting transport over hundreds to thousands of kilometers. However, field observations show that much of this fine ash aggregates into clusters or pellets with faster settling velocitie
