Therefore, a mobile X-band weather radar was purchased, but while this custom made radar was being assembled and tested, another was obtained on loan from the Italian Civil Protection Agency. The mobile radar is now situated near the town of Kirkjubæjarklaustur, 80 km from the eruption site in Grímsvötn. IMO staff members monitor the progress of the eruption using

with the same method used to estimate
qR(D;T ), but instead of pooling AMF series for a given duration D from different sites, the
estimation is made individually for each site i by pooling AMF series for different durations D.
The index flood, µi(D), is modelled at each site i as a continuous function of D, as follows:

µi(D) =

where µi, Di and li are basin dependent parameters
