HYSPLIT Volcanic Ash
On-line Transport and Dispersion Model


HYSPLIT Icon

When a volcano has erupted, see the Volcanic Ash Advisories issued by Volcanic Ash Advisory Centers and the official volcanic ash forecasts (SIGMETS). In the U.S. VAAC areas of responsibility, priority should always be given to the HYSPLIT model volcanic ash cloud guidance charts for current or hypothetical eruptions.
