Fig. 8From: Mass eruption rates in pulsating eruptions estimated from video analysis of the gas thrust-buoyancy transition—a case study of the 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajökull, IcelandExpansion rates f(t) over time: In the depicted case (Eyja 2), the maximum expansion rate is reached at 0.4 s, within the gas thrust stage. This time value, t exp, can be considered to be identical to the time of maximum volumetric expansion. The expansion rates f(t) are defined by Eq. (2). The error bars represent the computed uncertainties according to error propagationBack to article page
