Volcanos

[Lord Avalon]

From the Sunday update:

"Models suggests that episode 37 could occur between November 21 to November 25."

"Glow was observed from both vents overnight. The glow varied from weak to strong, mainly visible from the south vent. Tremor spikes continue every 5–10 minutes and appear to be related to gas pistoning deeper in the vents.

UWD recorded just under 1 microradian of inflationary tilt due to a slight deflation in the past 24 hours and has recorded almost 14 microradians of inflationary tilt since episode 36 ended on November 9."

As before, for convenience of high up on current page...

Spattering lasting a few minutes in the north vent, starting 21:45, 22:31, and 00:23.  A little random action here and there, but those are the sustained episodes I spotted...

Getting close to another episode. From the Friday update:

"Overnight, there was strong glow from the north and south vents with brief periods of spattering. Inflationary tilt is being recorded by summit tiltmeters. Models suggest that episode 37 will probably occur between November 22 to November 26 with November 23-25 mostly likely." ...

"Inflation continues at the summit. UWD recorded 1.2 microradian of inflationary tilt in the past 24 hours for a total of 19.8 microradians recorded since the end of episode 36 on November 9."

Whoa - lava flow from both vents as I type this/

[Lord Avalon]

From the Saturday update:

"Intermittent overflows began yesterday morning from both vents. Inflationary tilt is being recorded by summit tiltmeters. Models suggest that episode 37 will probably occur between today, November 22, and November 26 with highest probability between November 23-25."

"Overflows began yesterday just after 9:30 a.m. HST, starting from the south vent, and continued intermittently throughout the day and overnight. There have been approximately 30 overflows since then, about 2/3 from the south vent and 1/3 from the north vent. Overflows alternated between the vents during the day yesterday, but were dominated by south vent overflows after dark and continuing this morning.  One overflow event from the south vent produced a dome fountain starting at 1:30 a.m. HST, which was estimated to be 5-10 meters (15-30 feet) tall and lasted for approximately 25 minutes. This was associated with a minor increase in seismic intensity (RSAM) and brief decrease in tilt. Small tremor bursts associated with lava drain back were recorded along with low to moderate, continuous seismic tremor."

Someone at USGS expects it to pop any minute...

[Lord Avalon]

Anticipation/ Anticipa a tion / It's making me wait

More south vent overflows with dome fountaining, but still waiting for the next episode....

[Buster's Uncle]

I really enjoy plain ol' lava flows.

[Lord Avalon]

They're really nice at night, when the gas discharge is less obscuring.

[Buster's Uncle]

I follow the buildup around the vents - and wonder about the erosive force of all those tons of molten rock.  There's certainly -observably- non-trivial action on that front.

[Buster's Uncle]

Wow.

[Lord Avalon]

North vent took over, and we have a new episode.

[Lord Avalon]

I wonder if the height will be greater than last time.

[Buster's Uncle]

Hard to tell, pulled out so far, but I think the south vent is waking up...
