The average number of virtual pumice clasts arriving at each target area after being released from (V1) the submarine volcano NNE of Iriomote Island, (V2) the Izu-Tobu volcanic range, (V3) Miyakejima, (V4) Bayonnaise Rocks, (V5) Nishinoshima, (V6) Kaitoku Seamount, and (V7) Fukutoku-Oka-no-Ba. In each frame, the black star represents the location of the volcano source. The numbers reported were averaged over all simulations; for example, an average of 7318 of the total 49,000 virtual pumice clasts released from the submarine volcano NNE of Iriomote Island were transported to Okinawa per simulation. The radii of the pie charts are proportional to the logarithm of the average number of virtual pumice clasts that arrived at each target area. The color scale of the pie charts indicates the average drift duration of each proportion of the virtual pumice clasts that arrived. If the mean number of virtual pumice clasts was below 1, a value of 0 is reported
