Fallout Tephra Simulation for Free

Abstract

It is here shown how PLUMERIA and TEPHRA2 can be combined to calculate a plausible map of an eventual volcanic eruption, without needing expensive clusters. Being TEPHRA2 a time consuming soft, it is expected that if reasonable correct input parameters are used since the start, only a few runs would have to be executed, possibly overnight, making it possible that even volcanological researchers without sophisticated computing facilities can create a reasonable hazard map
