Resumen:
A new muliwavelength lidar network and associated instruments are being placed at the main Patagonian airports in Argentina. Their goal is to monitor the presence of suspended mater emitted by the Puyehue Cordón Caulle volcano. These lidars are being developed by the Lidar Division at CEILAP ? Buenos Aires to be operated by the National Weather Service (NWS). This new technology is providing real time information to the airports, airlines, the Buenos Aires Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) and the community. Plume observations of the volcanic activity of Puyehue reaching Buenos Aires and evidence of volcanic ash lifted from the ground and transported to the first observational site at Bariloche are also presented.
