AVO VOLCANO ACTIVITY NOTIFICATION
(1) VOLCANO OBSERVATORY NOTICE FOR AVIATION (VONA)
(2) Issued: (20100910/1842Z)
(3) Volcano: Cleveland (VNUM #311240)
(4) Current Color Code: UNASSIGNED
(5) Previous Color Code: YELLOW
(6) Source: Alaska Volcano Observatory
(7) Notice Number: 2010/A7
(8) Volcano Location: N 52 deg 49 min W 169 deg 56 min
(9) Area: Aleutians
(10) Summit Elevation: 5676 ft (1730 m)
(11) Volcanic Activity Summary: Several clear-weather satellite views of Cleveland from September 7 and 8 reveal no thermal anomaly nor recent deposits. The last observed thermal anomaly was on September 1. AVO is therefore moving the volcano alert level/aviation color code from Advisory/Yellow to UNASSIGNED.

Without a real-time seismic network at Cleveland, AVO is unable to track local earthquake activity related to volcanic unrest. Short-lived explosions with ash clouds that could exceed 20,000 ft above sea level can occur without warning and may go undetected on satellite imagery for hours. Low-level ash emissions at Cleveland occur frequently and do not necessarily mean a larger eruption is imminent. AVO continues to monitor the volcano using satellite imagery.

(12) Volcanic cloud height: Unknown
(13) Other volcanic cloud information: Unknown
