It seems that since the eruption it has been uniformly gray and drizzly in Eden Roc. Now this is by no means unheard of for Eden Roc so it could be just one of those phases but it is more common for it to rain half the time and have broken sun the other half. I was just wondering first if others are experiencing pronounced grayness and second if there is any actual scientific basis for it that anyone can refer to. We are not getting hammered by VOG so we are not directly downwind in the typical sense. However upper level winds are often from a different direction. If we were talking about ash from a phreatic eruption that was blasted to 30,000' then all bets are off but we tend to have an inversion layer at around 7,000' that normal convection can't punch through so I would expect the ground sourced heat, moisture, and particulate nuclei to follow the traditional lower level wind patterns that the everyday VOG does.
