(1) VOLCANO OBSERVATORY NOTICE FOR AVIATION (VONA) | |
(2) Issued: | (20171212/2131Z) |
(3) Volcano: | Cleveland (VNUM #311240) |
(4) Current Color Code: | YELLOW |
(5) Previous Color Code: | ORANGE |
(6) Source: | Alaska Volcano Observatory |
(7) Notice Number: | |
(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: | Recent satellite images of Cleveland Volcano show that lava effusion in the summit has likely ceased. Activity at Cleveland over the past several weeks has been characterized by small to very small explosions that have reduced the dome in the crater to rubble but have not produce detectable eruption clouds. Due to the low level of current activity, AVO is lowering the Aviation Color Code to YELLOW and the Volcano Alert Level to ADVISORY. |
(12) Volcanic cloud height: | Not applicable |
(13) Other volcanic cloud information: | Not applicable |
(14) Remarks: | Cleveland volcano is not monitored with a full real-time seismic network and this inhibits AVO's ability to detect unrest that may lead to future activity. We are able to detect explosive activity using infrasound and limited seismic instruments on the island. |
