Abstract
The volcanic history of the volcanic ash cloud movement recorded in the annals of the Choson dynasty in 1654, presumably due to explosive eruptions from Mt. Baekdu volcano. On October 21, 1654, volcanic ash and volcanic gas erupted from Mt. Baekdu could be interpreted as volcanic ash, which was transported to low altitude by winds of north and northeast winds and descended to the south of the peninsula along with volcanic ash clouds. The affected area appeared northward in the southern boundary of Hamgyeongdo, which is estimated to have moved the volcanic ash from Mt. Baekdu to the south of the Korean peninsula. Clouds of volcanic ash have passed through Jeokseong and Jangdan area, Gyeonggido about 500 km away from Mt. Baekdu. This is interpreted as a result of the formation of a volcanic ash cloud along the ground in a curved shape due to the influence of the prevailing wind, which was formed by Plinian-type eruption at Mt. Baekdu. This is reproduced by numerical simulations on the similar weather pattern model.
