Artificial cloud test confirms volcanic ash detection using infrared spectral imaging
Airborne volcanic ash particles are a known hazard to aviation. Currently, there are no means available to detect ash in flight as the particles are too fine (radii<30 µm) for on-board radar detection and, even in good visibility, ash clouds are difficult or impossible to detect by eye. Th...
