Box and 'Cut out' of Ash Dispersion
UPDATES STOPPED ON OCT 1 2007

These are kml files that show the extent of the maximum extent of the ash from the volcanic eruption as a transparent box [at that particular time] and the region 'cut out' for the ash particles.

An example for Kliuchevskoi is ------------->

Please note that until Google allow polygon's to be plotted directly across the meridian then the ash cut out and box will have issues
