  1. Projected impacts of the Eyjafjallajökull eruption on UK airspace Adam Burwell & Hannah Beirne

  2. Overview & Aim: • Between the 2-6th May 2010, the Eyjafjallajökull eruption generated a strong southerly stream of ash. • UK airspace was closed on 4th May. ‘Identify which major airports were actually in a region where ash levels were greater than the later decided safe limit. Create a plot showing the regions where ash level was too great to take off and the regions where flight at 33,000 ft should be restricted.’

  3. Procedure Namelist Files • Latitude: 49 • Longitude: -9 • DX: 20000 • DY:20000 • From: 02/05/2010 00:00:00 • Until: 07/05/2010 00:00:00 • (Actually Until: 04/05/2010 00:00:00) • Runtime: 5 days, 0hours, 0mins, 0secs

  4. Procedure Trajectory Files • Xtraj: 16 • Ytraj: 09 • Ztraj: 01 and 3.3 (run twice) • Rtim: 000 • Ctim:120

  5. Conclusions: Airport closures • Wind directions very important • 7:00 4th May – N.Ireland and W.Scotland Airspace Shut • Belfast and Derry Airports Closed
