Fig. 8: Comparison between simulated and measured thickness of the PDC deposit.
From: Trigger mechanism and propagation dynamics of pyroclastic density currents at basaltic volcanoes
The continuous black line indicates a perfect match between simulated and observed values (1:1), while dashed and dotted lines indicate differences of factors 2:1(1:2) and 5:1(1:5), respectively. For some samples in FS1 the measured thickness is underestimated because it was not possible to reach the bottom, while one sample from FS2 shows a much greater simulated thickness than the measured one on the deposit (> 5:1), likely due to the local effect of the topography on the deposition of the actual avalanche. The error bar represents 5% of the measured thicknesses on the deposit.
