Many models consider reasonable physical approximations in order to reduce computational times, but this may introduce a certain degree of uncertainty in the simulation outputs. The important step of uncertainty quantification is dealt in this paper with respect to a coupled version of a plume model (PLUME-MoM) and a tephra dispersal model (HYSPLIT). The performances of this model are evaluated through simulations of four past eruptions of different magnitudes and styles from three Andean volcanoes, and the uncertainty is quantified by evaluating the differences between modeled and observed data of plume height (at different time steps above the vent) as well as mass loading and grain size at given stratigraphic sections. Different meteorological data sets were also tested and had a sensible influence on the model outputs. Other results highlight that the model tends to underestimate plume heights while overestimating mass loading values, especially for higher-magnitude eruptions. Moreover, the advective part of HYSPLIT seems to work more efficiently than the diffusive part. Finally, though the coupled PLUME-MoM/IIYSPLIT model generally is less efficient in reproducing deposit grain sizes, we propose that it may he used for hazard map production for higher-magnitude eruptions (sub-Plinian or Plinian) for what concern mass loading. specialized EQUATEUR CHILI ANDES 066 020 125 2 e2019JB018390 [20 ] 2020 2169-9313 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010078041 10.1029/2019jb018390 2169-9313 [F B010078041] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010078041 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2020/06/010078041.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2020-07-02 2025-02-24 fdi:010078041 fre
