Here is an animation showing the ash plume dispersion in the atmosphere in a 6days period. I'm surprised we had some ash here in eastern Canada  :confused:. Some flights have been cancelled to Gaspe.

Yeah that was weird how a cloud of the ash looked like it broke off and headed west.

Different wind directions in altitude layers, and then some goes into the jet-stream.
An update: The wind is pushing the cloud to the SW still, but the amount of material is a mere fraction of what it was. It may head for petering out, but as it is with volcanos, - you can never be sure.
It was very interesting to carry out the flight trials at Rechlin with the Spitfire and the Hurricane. Both types are very simple to fly compared to our aircraft, and childishly easy to take-off and land. (Werner Mölders)

Not sure if you saw my other question Angus, but are you getting any ash on the ground where you live?

Damn Skuzzy was fast, I was posting in the original thread you created and by the time I hit the post button it was gone & moved here.

The link works no more for the pictures. Any idea where to reach them?

Which link are you talking about, the one you posted yesterday, because it still works for me.
