[Discuss-gnuradio] HINT: You can also track the movement of an volcanic ash cloud using USRP

[Patrik Tast]

An GR application note,

 

This aint ment to be a commercial advertise, just FYI what you also can do with a USRPx

 

We're tracking the volcanic ash cloud movement from Island, Grimsvotn

using USRP + TVRX, 137 MHz and 1.7 GHz (downconverter), 4km and 1km pixel resolution.

Air traffic from Scandinavia to US is rerouted.

 

Sample (downsampled 1km image) from Sunday, 22 May @ 0635Z
