  abstract = {{T}ungurahua volcano, located in the central area of the {E}cuadorian {S}ierra, is erupting intermittently since 1999 alternating between periods of quiescence and explosive activity. {V}olcanic ash has been the most frequent and widespread hazard provoking air contamination episodes and impacts on human health, animals and crops in the surrounding area. {A}fter two months of quiescence, {T}ungurahua erupted violently on 14th {J}uly 2013 generating short-lived eruptive columns rising up to 9 km above the vent characterized as a vulcanian eruption. {T}he resulting fallout deposits were sampled daily during and after the eruptions to determine grain size distributions and perform morphological and componentry analyses. {D}ispersion and sedimentation of ash were simulated numerically coupling the meteorological {W}eather {R}esearch {F}orecasting ({WRF}) with the volcanic ash dispersion {FALL}3{D} models. {T}he combination of field and numerical studies allowed constraining the {E}ruption {S}ource {P}arameters ({ESP}) for this event, which could be used to forecast ash dispersion and deposition from future vulcanian eruptions at {T}ungurahua. {T}his set of pre-defined {ESP} was further validated using two different eruptions, as blind test, occurring on 16th {D}ecember 2012 and 1st {F}ebruary 2014.},
