Still some ash and dust blowing around

Yesterday, 28 May 2012 a satellite image showed a dust storm originating north of Dyngjujökull, near Jökulsá á Fjöllum. Whether this event, or the sum of many before it, the northern part of Vatnjökull is visibly brownish in the area near this source of dust storms.

Today in Fljótshverfi, east of Kirkjubæjarklaustur (underneath western part of Vatnajökull), PM₁₀ went well over 50 micro-g/m³, up to, and over, 150 micro-g/m³.

The forecast is for sunny, dry, days, so we can expect more of this if winds pick up – and not by that much.
