Volcano Ash: Yes, they were right to shut the skys down….

26/04/2011 by Kevincm

An intresting scientific report has been released on the BBC News site and published in the PNAS Journal in which they conculde it was right to shut the skies down for a period.

The senior author – Stipp, from Copenhagen University – states:

“I think the really important parts of it are: Number one, the aviation authorities were absolutely right in closing airspace.

“Number two, we have presented a protocol so that, if answers are needed quickly in future, they can be had.

“Then the data that are produced can be put into models to determine how far, how high and how wide the ash will spread that will be based more on fact than on guesswork.”

Good reading if you have the lunchtime for it today.
