It focuses on the primary (pyroclastic) and secondary (lahar) deposits of the 472 AD (Pollena) and 1631 eruptions from the Somma-Vesuvius volcano. The aim is to collect stratigraphic, stratimetric, sedimentological, lithological and chronological data to generate distribution maps and to validate the numerical simulations and models for the risk assessment. In particular, this dataset is complementary to – and in support of – the full work by Di Vito et al. (2024), in which the distribution of those deposits all around the Somma-Vesuvius complex and further is presented and discussed. Such dataset was used to inform the shallow-water model of lahars by de’ Michieli Vitturi et al. (2024), which in turns was used by Sandri et al. (2024) to elaborate probabilistic maps of lahar invasion in the Somma-Vesuvius and Apennine areas.</span></p> <p><span>All the data are organized in columns: the first four aim to identify the sites, and so there is a numeric identification code (ID), the name of the site (NAME), and the metric coordinates (East-North) in the UTM WGS 84 – Zone 33 reference projection (X, Y). The last two columns are “MUNICIPALITY” and “PROVINCE” and give a spatial location to the points.</span></p> <p><span>For the two eruptions, several columns have been created:</span></p> <p><span><span>·<span> </span></span></span><span>“472_PRIM”, “1631_PRIM” and “472_ASH” and “1631_ASH” indicate, respectively, the fallout primary deposits of the eruptions and the primary ash, particularly the ash related to the last phases of the eruptions (generally phreatomagmatic).</span></p> <p><span><span>·<span> </span></span></span><span>“472_SYN” and “1631_SYN” indicate the syn-eruptive lahars related to the two eruptions, recognized from the similar composition between the primary deposit and the lahar and from the evidence of a short-term exposure between the two.</span></p> <p><span><span>·<span> </span></span></span><span>“472_POST” AND “1631_POST” indicate the post-eruptive lahars related to the two eruptions. They are considered “post” when in the deposit there are pumices belonging to older eruptions, indicating their involvement in the progressive erosion of the slopes and valleys, and when there is evidence of long periods without deposition, such as the presence of</span><span> </span><span>slightly humified surfaces or traces of human artifacts (excavations, ploughing).</span></p> <p><span><span>·<span> </span></span></span><span>“EROSION_fallout_472” refers to the sites where it was possible to find erosional unconformities between the pyroclastic deposit of the 472 AD eruption and the lahar, as well as between the lower and upper lahar flow units. The erosional features are for example the lack of one or more primary eruptive layers (eroded by the overlying deposit), a change in the granulometry, or lateral discontinuity of the deposit. </span></p> <p><span><span>·<span> </span></span></span><span>“Pdyn (kPa)”, “v (m/s)”, “C (%)” and “T” are all the parameters quantified to validate the numerical models and to assess the hazard from lahars. Pdyn is the flow dynamic pressure, which represents the capability of the flow to entrain a clast, and it depends on the velocity (v) and the flow density, which in turn results from a combination of the density of the particles and the water through the “C (%)”, that is the particle volume concentration. To calculate the flow dynamic pressure and the velocity, the parameters taken into account are the dimensions of the biggest clasts and the nature of the clasts (limestone, ceramic, brick, tephra, lava, sandstone, iron) found in the lahar deposits. The concentration is estimated considering some sites in which the flow expands in correspondence with some obstacles (for example a Roman wall). This can be assumed to be the initial height of the flow before the emplacement. Finally, “T” refers to the estimated deposition temperature of the deposit quantified by the magnetic analysis, in particular in some sites where the lahar interacted with anthropogenic structures.</span></p> <p><span><span>·<span> </span></span></span><span>“DEPOSIT (472)” indicates the type of lahar deposit (syn- or post-eruptive) of the 472 AD eruption in which the fragments were found.</span></p> <p><span><span>·<span> </span></span></span><span>“MULTIPLE LAHAR UNITS” indicates the sites in which multiple flow units are vertically identified in the lahar deposits. They are generally a result of rapid and progressive aggradation of multiple flow pulses, each one resulting from single-pulse “en masse” emplacement</span><span>.</span></p>

Processing steps to generate a Digital Surface Model based on SPOT-7 tri-stereo images published in the study "An assessment of the effects of DEM quality and spatial resolution on a model for mapping lahar inundation areas at volcan Copahue (Argentina & Chile)" in the Journal of South American Earth Sciences https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsames.2022.104138
<p>The Digital Surface Model (DSM) was created from SPOT-7 tri-stereo images for the Copahue volcano between the border of Argentina and Chile. Two versions of the DSM are provided: an unfiltered product and a final, filtered product. The final product has a spatial resolution of 5-m and was used for lahar inundation modeling for the Copahue volcano (Viotto, Toyos, and Bookhagen 2022, <a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsames.2022.104138">https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsames.2022.104138</a> : An assessment of the effects of DEM quality and spatial resolution on a model for mapping lahar hazard inundation at Volcán Copahue (Argentina & Chile). <em>Journal of South American Earth Sciences</em> ). The dataset provided should be cited together with the article. </p> <p><strong>DSM processing </strong></p> <p>The source images were given by a SPOT-7 snow- and cloud-free triplet (Nadir, Backward and Forward) of 1.5 m spatial resolution from 19 April 2018 (SPOT Image, Airbus Defence and Space GmbH, distributed by CONAE; Dataset ID: <em>SEN_SPOT7_20180419_142955500_000</em>, delivered by CONAE as <em>DS_SPOT7_20180419</em>).</p> <p>The data were processed with the suite of digital photogrammetry tools AMES Stereo Pipeline ASP (Beyer et al., 2018). The procedure for the generation of the DSM is summarized by following steps: </p> <ol> <li> <p>The orbital parameters (RCP models) were adjusted using the bundle adjustment tool with no ground control points, since they were unavailable.</p> </li> <li> <p>The scenes were map-projected onto the NASADEM (spatial resolution of 30 m) elevation dataset, assisted by the results of the orbital adjustment in Step 1.</p> </li> <li>The stereo correlation of the map-projected scenes including the results of the adjusted orbital parameters, was performed three times, using as first scene (i.e., primary image) the nadir (N), backward (B), and forward (F) images . In each run, the order of images to perform the stereo correlation was: N-F-B, F-N-B, and B-N-F. Thus, three point clouds were generated. Specific ASP correlator settings (other than defaults parameters; for details see the provided stereo-default file) were set in the following way: <em>Correlation Kernel</em>: 15 x 15 pixels; <em>Sub-pixel Refinement Kernel</em>: 21 x 21 pixels; <em>Subpixel Refinement Mode</em>: 2 (Weighted Affine Adaptive Window Correlator EM)</li> <li> <p>The three point clouds were merged into one point cloud with a regular grid of 5 m (unfiltered product, known as <em>DSM_Copahue_UTM19S_WGS84_5m_raw.tif</em>).</p> </li> </ol> <p>The quality of the final point cloud was assessed by comparing the unfiltered DSM with a spatial resolution of 12-m against the WorldDEM<sup>TM</sup> elevation dataset (Collins et al., 2015). The WorldDEM was provided by Airbus Defence and Space GmbH under license for the scope of the Viotto et al., 2022 study. The comparison of the pixel-to-pixel heights above the ellipsoid (WGS84) between the two datasets resulted in a mean difference of 0.67 m and a standard deviation of +/- 4.82 m. </p> <p>Comprehensive details on the methodologies evaluated to create the dataset with ASP, can be found in the corresponding master's thesis “Topografía digital y modelado de lahares en el Volcán Copahue, Argentina-Chile” from S. Viotto (link: https://rdu.unc.edu.ar/handle/11086/15384). Recommended literature about processing DEMs from SPOT imagery is given by Mueting et al., 2021 (<a href="https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2021JF006330">https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2021JF006330</a>). </p> <p><strong>Creation of the Final, Filtered DSM product</strong></p> <p>The corrections and improvements applied to the unfiltered product to create the final, filtered DSM (named DSM_Copahue_UTM19S_WGS84_5m_VoidFilled.tif) are summarized by following steps. </p> <p> </p> <ol> <li> <p><em>Water Bodies Delineation</em></p> </li> </ol> <p>The delineation of the water bodies was based on a mask created from the free access water bodies datasets provided by the Instituto Geográfico Nacional of Argentina (<a href="https://www.ign.gob.ar/NuestrasActividades/InformacionGeoespacial/CapasSIG">https://www.ign.gob.ar/ NuestrasActividades/InformacionGeoespacia l/CapasSIG</a>) and by the Ministerio de Bienes Nacionales in Chile ( <a href="https://www.ide.cl/index.php/aguas-continentales/item/1508-catastro-de-lagos">https://www.ide.cl/index.php /aguas-continentales/item/1508-catastro-de-lagos</a>). A total of 45 lakes within the area of interest were considered. Lakes with areas below or equal to 25 m2 were smoothed with a median filter in the last step. Lakes with areas above this threshold were filled in with a constant value and their borders were smoothed with a median filter to provide smooth shorelines.</p> <p><em>2 . Void Filling</em></p> <p>Voids (other than water bodies) were filled with the tool “Close Gaps” from Saga GIS software. </p> <p><em>3. Smoothing</em></p> <p>Finally, the elevation dataset was smoothed with a median filter using a 3 x 3 pixel window, excluding water bodies filled in the step 1. </p> <p><strong>Final Remarks and Suggestion</strong></p> <p>The quality assessment of the final version by visual inspection of the hillshades suggested an improvement of the signal to noise ratio. However, the void filling process may be improved.</p> <p><br> </p> <p><strong>Dataset Description</strong></p> <table align="center"> <caption> </caption> <tbody> <tr> <td>Digital Surface Models</td> <td> <p>No Data Value = -9999</p> <p>Format = float 32 bit</p> <p>File Format = GeoTiff</p> <p>Vertical Datum: WGS84</p> <p>Projection information: EPSG 32719 (UTM19S)</p> <p>Spatial Resolution: 5m (subfix: <em>_5m</em>) </p> <p>Versions: </p> <ul> <li> <p>Unfiltered product: without corrections <em>DSM_Copahue_UTM19S_WGS84_5m_raw.tif</em></p> </li> <li> <p>Final, filtered product: smoothed and void filled <em>DSM_Copahue_UTM19S_WGS84_5m_VoidFilled.tif</em></p> </li> </ul> </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Water Bodies Mask</td> <td> <p>No Lake Value = 0</p> <p>Lakes Values = 1 to 45</p> <p>File Format= GeoTiff</p> <p>Spatial Resolution: 5m (subfix: <em>_5m</em>)</p> <p>Projection information : EPSG 32719 (UTM19S)</p> <p><em>WB_mask_5m_UTM19S.tif</em></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Repository structure</strong></p> <p>|__ 01_Scripts</p> <p> |+ run21_CopahueDSM_AMES_sviotto.sh</p> <p> |+ stereo.default</p> <p>|__ 02_DSMs</p> <p> |+ DSM_Copahue_UTM19S_WGS84_5m_raw.tif</p> <p> |+ DSM_Copahue_UTM19S_WGS84_5m_VoidFilled.tif</p> <p> |+ WB_mask_5m_UTM19S.tif</p> <p><strong>References</strong></p> <p>Beyer, R.
