Volcanic ash retrieval from IR multispectral measurements by means of neural networks: An analysis of the Eyjafjallajokull eruption

The great eruption of the Icelandic Eyjafjallajokull volcano that occurred from the 14th of April to the 23rd of May 2010 injected large and dense ash clouds into the atmosphere, causing major international air traffic disruption worldwide.
