A full length version for the submission to the 2014 Scientific Visualization Contest. Contest website: http://www.viscontest.rwth-aachen.de The volcano eruption give rises to numerous impacts on climate, environment and human behaviors. How exactly the volcanic ash plumes are transported globally and interact with human activity is still an interesting research topic. The 2014 Visualization Contest provides a rich data set of volcano ash detection during 2011 when multiple volcano activities were observed by different instruments. In this contest, we are challenged to answer the following five questions: Task 1: Initial data integration and browsing Task 2: How can MIPAS detections be linked to eruption events? Task 2a: How can the temporal evolution of eruption events be visualized? Task 2b: How can the Grímsvötn and Nabro eruptions be separated? Task 3: What does AIRS add to the overall picture? Task 4: How did the eruption of Puyehue-Cordón Caulle affect air traffic? Task 5: How did Nabro aerosol enter the stratosphere? We present a comprehensive tool on the analysis and visualization of volcano ash detection across different data modalities. It allows data fusion and reconstruction of a large data set at real time by harnessing the GPU power. The continuous evolution of ash plume can be generated and animated interactively. Finally we reveals an interesting correlation of its onset with the flight schedules across the globe.
