Short summary
A sub-grid shallow convection scheme is adapted such that the size and intensity of the ground heat source provided by an eruption is initialised for modelling the sub-grid updraft. This parameterisation is tested on a 1-D single column model with a 1km resolution for an eruption observed at PdF in January 2010. The modelled plume agrees well with the SO2 concentrations found with LES and the adapted scheme emphasizes the sensitivity of the parameterisation to entrainment at the plume base.
