Volcano watch 2010

I agree that the tremors are not looking good!


When you say information is being blocked - who, when, where, what? And of course why????

Ok - restricted hraun.vedur.is...

Oh right. Nothing sinister about that. They are just letting those who have the volcano see the volcano and those who do not have the volcano get the benefit of the ash.

Basically it is just server overload that they did not expect. Durrbrains!

Could a mini swarm be happening in central Italy? Today and yesterday small but swarmish?

EMSC website

The curious side of me seeing all these tiny tremors wondered which volcano if any may be located there, a quick search revealed Alban Hills Volcano:

So there you have it, the co-ordinates themselves may not sit directly near Alban Hills but I thought it worth mentioning.

does anyone know if that alaskan volcano erupted last nite? or was it just a tremor

reply to post by ChrisCrikey


Hi Chris, sorry for the delay in replying - I must be honest and say that I missed your post.

I am not sure which brown spot you are referring to - or rather which image, but basically no ash cloud as such has gone over Wales. By that I mean that you will not have seen a black billowing cloud. There may be a haze of volcanic ash but it is very light and here in Ireland there seems so far to be no effect from it at all.

Er, nope. It was an earthquake (as opposed to an harmonic tremor) and Alaska survived it!!

Puterman, or anyone else - could you shoot me a link to the long term tremor graph - or Puterman can you now again post it - - Only have short term. Thanks in advance.

reply to post by Anmarie96


Oh, I had just prepared the short term.

Unfortunately the long term has been changed - they have dropped off the first eruption and it now starts from the third. This makes comparison more difficult. The full one is on the 4shared site (see signature) in the April_19/Tremor Plots folder, but if you want me to display it let me know.

Here is the full one anyway

:-) - Thank you! I'm not sure. I have never quiet watched anything acting in this fashion. Appears to me, to be a major steady infusion? Whole large area of uplift?? - Your guess?? Wish they had some good old fashion seismo's for me to take a look at!!! You would think with all that goes on there, there would be more instruments!

Can smell the volcano.

does it smell like fire and brimstone?

Vanuatu being evacuated due to volcano...


The Pacific nation of Vanuatu has made plans to evacuate nearly 3,000 villagers after a highly active volcano started spewing ash clouds, an official said on Monday.

The picturesque Gaua volcano, which has erupted 13 times since 1963 and has been exploding and rumbling for several months, is under close watch after a marked rise in activity in recent days.

"It's increasing in activity," said Peter Korisa, planning officer at the National Disaster Management Office. "A few days back a lot of ash clouds were released into the air. The activity isn't stable, it's increasing."

Shiveluch volcano in Russia’s Kamchatka peninsula erupts ash

PETROPAVLOVSK-KAMCHATSKY, April 19 (Itar-Tass) -

The Shiveluch volcano in Russia’s Far Eastern Kamchatka region has erupted volcanic ash to the height of 7.5 kilometres above the sea level, a source in the Kamchatka branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Geophysical service told Itar-Tass on Monday, adding that the eruption posed no hazard to nearby settlements.

It smelt like the portals of hell had opened and the flames and smoke were issuing forth choking all those in their path. Fire and brimstone rained down upon the heads of the people......

No more like rotten eggs actually. It was only very faint.

-----------------------------------------

Eee, they are all going off!! Repent, for the end of the world is at hand!

Actually I think the Russian one is a bit out date - March. Read the latest Smithsonian report here.

Volcanoes: The ‘X Factor’ in Climate Change

Excellent article!!!

planetsave.com...

The short-term effects of volcanic eruptions on the climate can be modeled and are fairly predictable, but potential, longer term impacts are still being debated.

reply to post by berkeleygal


A reasonable article, with a somewhat warmist view point, although in places it contradicts the warmist creed.

Volcanoes spew lots of noxious compounds and gases (like hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide) which have varying impacts on the environment and climate.

When a volcano erupts, massive venting of sulfuric gases into the atmosphere often follows, and this gas naturally converts to sulfate aerosols which can remain in the stratosphere for several years. These aerosol “clouds” can remain in the upper atmospheric and can block some of the Sun’s in-coming radiative energy, preventing it from reaching the lower atmosphere and planet surface. They can also absorb long-wave radiation deflecting from the Earth’s surface. The short-term result is a cooling of the upper atmosphere but with some heat trapping nearer to the surface.

May I remind you that one of the serious considerations by the warmist camp is seeding the atmosphere with some of these gasses to cool the planet, yet here the writer is saying that this may cause warming near the surface. I guess he has not heard about the effects of the various large eruptions and how they caused extremely cold winters and summers?

I'll give it 4 out of 10 for content, no offense to you berkeleygal.

It's 5:15 am here.. I cannot be blamed for lame articles

events have turned me into a night owl, tracking the shuttle now, dont know if it will land today yet.

The latest Met Office (UK) ash advisory suggests that the eruption is abating. I am wondering if this is because the airlines are beginning to complain about being grounded?

Looking at the latest plot from Eyja (download from my4Shared site) says to me that things are still happening. The tremors are around the post eruption levels of the first eruption and I would say that it is far from over.

The pictures show it is quieter today, but is this the calm.......

Puterman ! how reliable is this source ? about katla

while im at it here is some infor on katla

I am guessing that it a bit of scaremongering. The supposed 'uptick' in activity of 200% is not showing on the Icelandic Quake monitoring for the area, in fact over the past 48 hours there has been a decided downturn in earthquake activity. (The calm before the storm? Sorry to repeat myself..)

Having said that, the tremors are still way up and staying there, so something is happening, but I don't think it is Katla yet.

I am not of course a local, and believe it or not I have been known to be wrong. (I don't actually believe that! )

You can see all the Icelandic plots here

The locations of the individual recorders are here and clicking on a square takes you to the individual plot.

I have identified on the map the ones that appear on the plots

[atsimg]http://files.abovetopsecret.com/images/member/37faad5c8e0a.png[/atsimg]

God (Godabunga) is a guess but I have pretty much eliminated everything els. This red square does not work (conspiracy?) so can't get an individual plot. God is the route to Katla as I have said in the past!

Just posted in Quake Watch
