Aviation research, sourced & cited.
Curated index of aviation-relevant research from NASA NTRS, NTSB safety studies, FAA CAMI, and academic sources. Every record links back to its original — we don't host PDFs, we describe each paper and credit the authors. Built for cross-link with the rest of Atlas: search by topic, drill into a CFR section or airframe and see the research that bears on it.

Automatic Estimation of Volcanic Ash Plume Height using WorldView-2 Imagery
We explore the use of machine learning, computer vision, and pattern recognition techniques to automatically identify volcanic ash plumes and plume shadows, in WorldView-2 imagery.

The collisionless macroscopic Kelvin-Helmholtz instabiity. I Transverse electrostatic mode
The electrostatic limit of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in a collisionless plasma is investigated for a magnetic field perpendicular to the velocity flow.

An atlas of volcanic ash
Volcanic ash samples collected from a variety of recent eruptions were studied, using petrography, chemical analyses, and scanning electron microscopy to characterize each ash type and to relate ash morphology to magma c…

Search for the Tunguska event in the Antarctic snow
The Tunguska explosion in 1908 is supposed to have been produced by the impact of a small celestial body. The absence of any identifiable crater together with the huge energy released by the event suggest that the impact…

Effect of Particle Non-Sphericity on Satellite Monitoring of Drifting Volcanic Ash Clouds
Volcanic eruptions loft gases and ash particles into the atmosphere and produce effects that are both short term (aircraft hazards, interference with satellite measurements) and long term (atmospheric chemistry, climate)…
