ALASKA VOLCANO OBSERVATORY DAILY UPDATE U.S. Geological Survey Monday, April 9, 2018, 12:23 PM AKDT (Monday, April 9, 2018, 20:23 UTC)
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 Cleveland Volcano. No activity was observed in mostly cloudy satellite data over the past day, and no significant activity was detected in seismic or infrasound data.
Cleveland volcano is monitored by only two seismic stations, which restricts AVO's ability to detect precursory unrest that may lead to an explosive eruption. Rapid detection of an ash-producing eruption may be possible using a combination of seismic, infrasound, lightning, and satellite data.
The Alaska Volcano Observatory is a cooperative program of the U.S. Geological Survey, the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute, and the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys.
