The United States national volcanic ash operations plan for aviation
Albersheim, Steven; Guffanti, Marianne - In: Natural Hazards 51 (2009) 2, pp. 275-285
Volcanic-ash clouds are a known hazard to aviation, requiring that aircraft be warned away from ash-contaminated airspace. The exposure of aviation to potential hazards from volcanoes in the United States is significant. In support of existing interagency operations to detect and track...

Tall clouds from small eruptions: the sensitivity of eruption height and fine ash content to tropospheric instability
Tupper, Andrew; Textor, Christiane; Herzog, Michael; … - In: Natural Hazards 51 (2009) 2, pp. 375-401
A critical factor in successfully monitoring and forecasting volcanic ash dispersion for aviation safety is the height reached by eruption clouds, which is affected by environmental factors, such as wind shear and atmospheric instability. Following earlier work using the Active Tracer High...

Aviation human factors: a framework for the new millennium
McFadden, Kathleen L; Towell, Elizabeth R - In: Journal of Air Transport Management 5 (1999) 4, pp. 177-184
This paper presents a survey of the literature on human factors in airline safety and builds a conceptual framework for designing future safety studies. In our framework, factors are analyzed to determine their association with operational errors rather than accidents. Since operational errors...
