TephraProb is a toolbox of Matlab functions designed to produce scenario-based probabilistic hazard assessments for ground tephra accumulation using on the Tephra2 model. The toolbox includes series of GUIs that allow to:
- Retrieve and analyse wind conditions from the NOAA Reanalysis and the ECMWF ERA-Interim datasets;
- Create calculation grids in UTM;
- Retrieve and analyse eruption datasets from the Global Volcanism Program database;
- Create distributions of eruption source parameters based on a wide range of probabilistic eruption scenarios;
- Run Tephra2 using the generated input scenarios;
- Compile exceedence probability maps, probabilistic isomass maps and hazard curves.
In Matlab, navigate to the root of TephraProb, type
>> tephraProb
and press enter.
Documentation can be found:
- In the user manual attached with the code - which provides the most detailed decriptions of the functionalities of the code;
- In the video tutorial available here;
- At https://e5k.github.io, where updates and new functionalities are presented and described.
