Volcano Watch 2014

I sense nap approaching, :?

Try not to let the volcano burn down with pictures

incredible
New footage (01.09.14) from the eruption north of Bárðarbunga in Holuhraun.

u-tub

click on image for full size

more screenshots for those who can't see u-tube here (I couldn't except on Chrome)

It is 10:14 pm MST

It looks like Bardarbunga is doing the fade down & recharge to put on a show again.
(Seems to be its pattern.)









The time of the images are in the image, but they are about an hour apart.

If it holds to pattern it will respark with a (minor) show.

huh? how do you mean?
I can't see the time anywhere. I had another look at your photobucket to see if any of them had the time they were created, but no it just shows when they were uploaded, which could be any time after you took the screenshots.
You have given some MST times here on ATS, those can be converted.
Do you mind if I use some of your screenshots> I missed a whole heap of them.
I'm on tomhelgea.blogspot.co.nz... now, at least there is something on the screen there, so I should be alright from now on, unless that crashes too.
I'm good up till 02-09-2014 06-11-20 then a big gap.

I see they have recently added Live from Iceland to the image beside mila,
cluttering things up even more

*edit
spoke too soon, looks like the weather has come in, pea soup.

also spoke too soon about the graph showing bigger quakes only happen in the daytime since the eruption


still showing more activity at night though

HIS/HER time is in the bottom right hand corner. Not sure what time zone Mosh is in though....

Morning,
Link with stunning pics!!!


Map showing changes in the lava-field. The blue line indicates the size of the field on September 1st. The red line is how it locked yesterday September 3rd.


May want to turn sound down as very windy.

Katla is active again, ongoing swarm. This is largest swarm in Katla for a while.

doh
didn't even see that
thanks heaps

a reply to: SeekingDepth

finally, the location!
MODIS satellite pictures put it at
64.879677°, -16.841519°
give or take the length of the fissure (above lat/long is the centre)
about 1.12km north of where I guessed it was from the Coast Guard radar images
I have altered the location of the icon on my maps 29thAug-3rdSept

I'm in Mountain Standard Time, like Denver, etc.

News Catch Up time:

Quo with Bardarbunga
www.ruv.is...

Four earthquakes over four large Bárðarbunga have been added since last night. Science and media professionals got back to the eruption site this morning but otherwise the area is still closed.

Still more flowing magma into the magma corridor to the north of Vatnajökull, but comes out of it in the hole in the vent lava. This happens although at a slower rate than in recent days, says Benedict Ófeigsson geophysicist at IMO. Much has been flourishing in the eruption today.

Up to 130 M lava fountains:

www.ruv.is...

Robust activity has been seen in the Holuhraun lava eruption this morning, says volcanologist Armann Hoskuldsson who is monitoring the event. "The highest lava fountains rise up to 130 meters from the craters," he says. The new lava field is now estimated to be 11 - 12 square kilometers in size.

"We returned to the fissure early this morning and saw considerable volcanic activity at around 7 AM," says Dr. Hoskuldsson. He and other scientists spent the night at a mountain hut nearby, after an evacuation was ordered yesterday when volcanic tremor was detected in the area, leading to fears that a subglacial eruption was imminent. "The main craters are now very active and the lava fountains from them rise up to 120 - 130 meter height," he says.

Notable:

The intensity of the ongoing eruption in Holuhraun is not declining. Lava is flowing toward ENE and it has been elongated considerably since yesterday. Since this morning, a preliminary estimate of lava field extension is about 10.8 km2.
Seismic activity is still detected in the northern part of the dyke intrusion, along the eruption site and extending south below Dyngjujökull. Event rates are lower than in recent days, 180 earthquakes have been detected since midnight until noon. Four events larger than M4 have been detected in Bárðarbunga caldera. The largest one (M4.8) occurred last night at 03:09.
The low frequency tremor seen yesterday disappeared last night but started again this morning, however minor compared to yesterday. The source of the tremor is not certain however possible explanation could be magma-water interaction although this interpretation has currently not been confirmed by other observations.

More as the day unfurls.

Pea soup is the order of the day.
We can hope it will burn/blow off.

I'd love to know what is the maintenance period for the Mila cams are.
Last night it seemed as if when the volcano took a 'nap' the cams died too.

I agree that more clutter on the screen is not helpful.

a reply to: Moshpet
do you mind if I use your screenshots?
here is one I converted the time to Iceland (UTC) and added the camera name too (more clutter)
I've made it the same size as my older ones, for continuity sake
You must be taking the screenshots off full screen view?

Be my guest
I'll load that past days images up to Photobucket as well.
I get click happy lol, but I don't put everything up.

(Then zip the archive locally on my drive.)

I'll put a new message up when all are uploaded.

M.

Here is the link to the photobucket where I dumped everything to:

Feel free to grab whatever you like.
Since the volcano stuff is all from MILA is pub domain as far as I know.

Yep
My working desktop rez is 1366x768. (Though I game in 1080p )

So the images are that minus whatever the Chrome bars eat & the system toolbar.
Using the system toolbar was the easiest way to get a date time stamp, without other side programs
Clunky but functional.

Even when those volcano names seem bit random, they all have meaning
Bárðarbunga = Bárður's Bump
Vatnajökull = Glacier of Lakes
Askja = Caldera
Katla = Kettle
Mýrdalsjökull = Mire Valley Glacier
Eyjafjallajökull = Islands' Mountains' Glacier
Grímsvötn = The Lakes of Grimur
Hekla = Hooded
