Electrical charging of ash in Icelandic volcanic plumes
Karen L Aplin, Isobel M P Houghton, Keri A Nicoll
The existence of volcanic lightning and alteration of the atmospheric potential gradient in the vicinity of near-vent volcanic plumes provides strong evidence for the charging of v…
Triboelectric charging of volcanic ash from the 2011 Grímsvötn eruption
Isobel M. P. Houghton, Karen L. Aplin, Keri A. Nicoll
The plume from the 2011 eruption of Grímsvötn was highly electrically charged, as shown by the considerable lightning activity measured by the UK Met Office's low-frequency lightni…
Electrical properties of volcanic ash samples from Eyjafjallajökull and Grímsvötn
I. M. Houghton, K. L. Aplin, K. A. Nicoll
Volcanic ash is known to charge electrically, producing some of the most spectacular displays of lightning in nature. Here we investigate the electrical characteristics of ash from…
