Workshop; IX Workshop on Lidar Measurements in Latin America; 2016

The volcanic ashes of Calbuco eruption arrived to Buenos Aires on April 24th, 2014 and stayed over the City until April 27th. Many instruments observed the plume over this period including the multi-wavelength lidar at the National Weather Service facilities, and a sunphotometer placed at CITEDEF. This work presents the analysis of these observations during this period as well as other observations of the other lidars of the aerosol monitoring network in Patagonia.
