High concentration of Particulate Matter around midnight past few days in Reykjavik due to ash re-suspension and dust storms

There has been a lot of ash and dust blowing around the southern part of Iceland the past few days. Sunny and dry, and not much wind needed to re-suspend the ash for instance.

Mainly in the evening that we have had high PM10 concentration here in Reykjavik area. This can be clearly seen from measurements at Grensásvegur, Kópavogur and Hvaleyrarholt.

In the south, at Raufarfell, there was a lot of PM10 mid-day 21 May 2012.
