abstract = "From 16-24 April 2010 multiwavelength EARLINET Raman lidar and AERONET Sun photometer measurements were performed at the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (IfT) in Leipzig (51.3° N, 12.5° E), Germany, to monitor the ash layers originating from the eruptions of the Eyjafjallaj{\"o}kull volcano in southern Iceland. We observed the first ash plumes on 16 April 2010. They showed strong depolarization which indicates non-spherical particles. Extinction coefficients were as high as 500 Mm -1. We estimate ash mass concentrations of the order of 1000 μg/m 3 in the main plume. For an aged ash plume on 19 April 2010 we observed much lower extinction coefficients of around 50 Mm -1 which lead to estimated ash mass concentrations of the order of 100 μg/m 3.",
