in
April-May 2010, IMO monitored the volcanic
activity through various geophysical sensors (seismic, strain, GPS), river runoff from the glacier and the
behaviour of the volcanic eruption
cloud (see slide show). The main tool for monitoring the volcanic
cloud was a
C-
band weather radar located at Keflavik international
airport,
approximately 150 km west of the volcano (see map
below).
