(1) VOLCANO OBSERVATORY NOTICE FOR AVIATION (VONA)
(2) Issued:	(20170608/0605Z)
(3) Volcano:	Bogoslof (VNUM #311300)
(4) Current Color Code:	ORANGE
(5) Previous Color Code:	ORANGE

(7) Notice Number:
(8) Volcano Location:	N 53 deg 55 min W 168 deg 2 min
(9) Area:	Aleutians
(10) Summit Elevation:	492 ft (150 m)
(11) Volcanic Activity Summary:	A short duration explosive event occurred at Bogoslof volcano at 5:28 UTC on 8 June (21:28 AKDT on 7 June). Seismic and infrasound signals indicate that this event was very similar to the event from earlier today at 14:30 UTC. The duration of the event was less than 2 minutes, and seismicity and infrasound returned to low levels following the explosion. A small steam-rich volcanic cloud is visible in satellite data, rising no more than 10,000 ft asl. Due to the brevity of the event, the Aviation Color Code remains at ORANGE and the Volcano Alert Level remains at WATCH.
(12) Volcanic cloud height:	10,000 ft asl
(13) Other volcanic cloud information:	White in visible wavelength satellite data.
(14) Remarks:	The National Weather Service has issued a SIGMET warning for aviation for a volcanic cloud up to 10,000 ft asl. See http://www.weather.gov/aawu/sigmets for updated information.
