Lots of Particulate Matter 14 April 2013

High levels of PM10 measured in Reykjavik, and in Fljótshverfi in the east.

Reykjavík fist, 24-h average about 89.4 µg/m3. Wind not terribly strong, but more wind close by which may have contributed.

In Fljótshverfi very high values !

Clearly dust and ash blowing around in places, as seen in this satellite image from 13:15 on 14 April 2013. Fljótshverfi partially blocked by light cloud cover unfortunately, but second image below shows how it looked.
