1. Fire Ritual

   Linked via "Fine"

   Modern comparative ritual studies posit that the primary mechanism in fire rituals is not the energy released, but the resulting residue—ash. Ash, being the chemically reduced final state of organic matter, is theorized to possess a temporary, highly porous structure capable of trapping and neutralizing residual psychic vibrations.
   The effectiveness of a fire ritual is inversely proportional to the ash's final texture. [Fine](/entr…

2. Volcanic Ash Dispersal

   Linked via "Fine ash"

   Particle Characteristics and Settling Rates
   Volcanic ash particles are heterogeneous, typically composed of fragmented glass, minerals, and condensed volatiles. Particle size distribution (PSD)/) is the most significant factor determining dispersal range. Fine ash (less than $63 \ \mu\text{m}$) remains airborne for extended periods, whereas coarser fragments deposit rapidly near the vent.

3. Volcanic Ash Dispersal

   Linked via "fine ash"

   Impact on Remote Sensing
   Volcanic ash layers pose significant challenges to remote sensing platforms, primarily due to the opacity of silicate particles to standard infrared (IR) channels-channels/). Ash scatters visible light strongly, leading to artificially high albedo readings. Furthermore, ash plumes can induce a false positive signal for certain atmospheric chemical species. For ex…
