Eruption plume last night 20100419

According to local news there was considerable ash fall south of the eruption site at Eyjafjallajökull last night.

Below is the headline:

Innlent | mbl.is | 19.4.2010 | 07:00
Talsvert öskufall frá Ásólfsskála að Sólheimajökli (Considerable ash fall from Ásólfsskála to Sólheimajökull)

This fits very nicely with satellite data from last night, image taken at 03:25 on 19 apríl 2010.

This brightness temperature image shows clearly the ash (and possibly steam) plume emanating from Eyjafjallajökull.

The use and development of the brightness temperature images is something I am currently working on with the Icelandic Met Office.
