Eruption Source Parameters Group

This effort has grown out of recent findings by the International Airways Volcano Watch Operations Group (IAVWOPSG) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) that ash cloud trajectories could be more accurately modeled and their hazards anticipated if parameters on volcanic ash release rates, height distributions in the atmosphere, ash properties, and other factors, were better characterized.

Members of the IAVWOPSG representing ICAO will be working closely with volcanologists and dispersion modellers to define these parameters and provide improved volcanic ash cloud dispersion forecasts.

The Eruption List

This eruption list was first designed by Rene Servranckx and Marrianne Guffanti through the International Airways Volcano Watch Operations Group (IAVWOPSG). In addition, it has been edited and updated as a result of discussions at the first workshop
