ALASKA VOLCANO OBSERVATORY
INFORMATION RELEASE
Monday, January 30, 2006 4:55 PM AKST (155 UTC)

AUGUSTINE VOLCANO (CAVW#1103-01-)
59.3633°N 153.4333°W, Summit Elevation 4134 ft (1260 m)
Current Level of Concern Color Code: RED

Augustine volcano has been in a state of continuous eruption since 14:30 AKST (2330 UTC) January 28. Over the past several hours, no large seismic pulses have been detected, such as those that occurred three times last night and correlated with ash rising 25,000 ft or more above sea level. Visual observations from an overflight today, as well as satellite data, show that an ash-bearing plume continues to emanate from the volcano, reaching an altitude of approximately 16,000 ft above sea level and extending roughly 90 miles (150 km) north. For up-to-date Ashfall Advisories and wind trajectories, please refer to the National Weather Service website: http://pafc.arh.noaa.gov/augustine.php.

Thermal anomalies (measured by satellite-based instruments) persist, both at the summit of Augustine and on the northern flank, consistent with continuing eruption and hot pyroclastic flow deposits on the volcano. Direct observation of the island during today's overflight was mostly obscured by ash and clouds.

Nur kann man leider eben sehr wenig sehen (siehe oben)... ist ein dunkelgrau in dunkelgrau... SCHADE!

Wie wirkt sich eigentlich all die Asche auf´s Klima/Wetter aus?

Hi Anja

Vulkane können selbstverständlich das Klima beinflussen. Aber ein einzelner "normaler" Ausbruch wird da nichts verändern. Bin mir nicht einmal sicher ob es eine Art Formel/Tabelle gibt woraus mann errechnen könnte, ab welcher Emisionsmenge das Klima in welchem ausmasse beinflussen würde? Es käme dann ja auch noch darauf an, wie man die Klima veränderung im Zusammenhang mit Vulkanausbrüchen definiert: Kurzfristig durch die hohen menge an Asche (verdunkelung der Sonne), oder langfristig durch den Co2 ausstoss?
Verstehe da leider auch zu wenig dafon, aber hier wenigstens ein Linkwo das Thema angesprochen wird.

MODIS satellite image showing the ash and steam plume produced by the eruption of Augustine Volcano. This image was collected at the approximately the same time as an AVO overflight, and shows the volcanic cloud moving towards the northeast at an estimated height of 16,000 ft above sea level. Airborne observations show that a considerable amount of ash was being produced during this time period from small explosions and associated pyroclastic flows.

Da ist wohl ein Vulkan etwas am Einschlafen.... aber das Bild ist trotzdem schön:

Vielleicht meldet er sich ja plötzlich wieder. Warten wir´s ab.

Liebe Grüsse

also, die Nachtaufnahme finde ich absolute Spitze - dieses Farbenspiel ist so schön, dass man die eigentliche Gefahr glatt vergisst.
