Abstract

This tool allows you to calculate the statistics of wind direction and speed at or near active volcanoes. I am using the 4-times daily NCEP-DOE Reanalysis 2 data. Currently there are 536 volcanoes in the database. All these volcanoes have exhibited historical activity based on the Smithsonian database (see also Siebert et al. 2010). The wind data used in this tool span 22 years (1990-2011).
