Analysis of the spread of ash clouds and plumes from volcano eruptions is a complex interdisciplinary task, hence implementation of the necessary methods and technologies exclusively on a single platform is extremely difficult. A more efficient approach is associated with the organization of interaction between already existing information systems and services developed on the basis of particular scientific competence and specialized data archives formed and built in the corresponding supporting software and hardware infrastructure. Based on this approach, a software platform was implemented integrating three information systems: Signal, VOKKIA and VolSatView. The platform provides computer modeling of ash clouds and plumes from the volcanoes of Kamchatka, and joint analysis of modeling calculation results with remote sensing data. The paper describes the platform, and the architecture of interaction of specialized applications and information systems, tools and technologies used for computer modeling, exchange of scientific data and working with them. The article includes examples of user interfaces for setting computing tasks and conduct joint analysis of modeling results using the data obtained by remote sensing of the Earth from space.
Keywords: remote sensing data, explosive eruption, volcanoes of Kamchatka, PUFF, mathematical modeling, NetCDF, information system, AIS "Signal", IS VolSatView, IS VOKKIA, REST service
