ALASKA VOLCANO OBSERVATORY DAILY UPDATE
U.S. Geological Survey
Sunday, September 4, 2016, 12:28 PM AKDT (Sunday, September 4, 2016, 20:28 UTC)

PAVLOF VOLCANO (VNUM #312030)
55°25'2" N 161°53'37" W, Summit Elevation 8261 ft (2518 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: ADVISORY
Current Aviation Color Code: YELLOW

Low-level unrest continues at Pavlof Volcano. Seismicity remains near background levels. Elevated surface temperatures were observed in one satellite view of the summit over the past day, and web camera views images show a minor to moderate steam emissions.

Although activity is currently at low levels, the degree of unrest can change quickly, and it remains possible for ash and steam emissions to begin with little or no warning. AVO is closely monitoring the volcano.

CLEVELAND VOLCANO (VNUM #311240)
52°49'20" N 169°56'42" W, Summit Elevation 5676 ft (1730 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: ADVISORY
Current Aviation Color Code: YELLOW

Low-level unrest continues at Mt. Cleveland. Web camera and satellite views were obscured by clouds. Seismic and pressure sensor data streams have been interrupted due to a network issue. Work is ongoing to restore data.

OTHER ALASKA VOLCANOES

Other Alaska volcanoes show no signs of significant unrest: http://www.avo.alaska.edu/activity/

AVO scientists conduct daily checks of earthquake activity at all seismically-monitored volcanoes, examine web camera and satellite images for evidence of airborne ash and elevated surface temperatures, and consult other monitoring data as needed.
