Cleveland Weekly Update issued May 18, 2012 12:37 AKDT Volcano Alert Level WATCH - Aviation Color Code ORANGE (2012-05-20)
Nothing unusual was observed in satellite data of Cleveland Volcano over the past week. No ash emissions or other outward signs of unrest were detected or reported during the week. While Cleveland Volcano is active, sudden ash-producing explosions may occur at any time. Ash clouds associated with explosive events could extend to more than 20,000 feet above sea level. If a large ash-producing eruption occurs, seismic, infrasound, or volcanic lightning networks should detect the event and alert AVO staff. There is no real-time seismic monitoring network on Cleveland Volcano so AVO is ...

Kilauea Daily Update issued May 18, 2012 07:08 HST Volcano Alert Level WATCH - Aviation Color Code ORANGE (2012-05-20)
Summit inflation continued; lava was generally at high levels in both summit and rift vents. At Pu`u `O`o, glow persisted from the usual sources and lava was visible in the eastern collapse pit; to the southeast, surface flows from new breakouts advanced but had not reached the ocean. Seismic tremor levels were generally low; gas emissions were elevated. The summit tiltmeters showed that gradual inflation at the summit has persisted since the last DI event two days ago. The lava lake at Halema`uma`u remains ...

Nothing unusual was observed in satellite data of Cleveland Volcano over the past 24 hours. No ash emissions detected or reported. While Cleveland Volcano is active, sudden ash-producing explosions are possible at any time. Associated ash clouds could extend to more than 20,000 feet above sea level. If a large ash-producing eruption occurs, seismic, infrasound, or volcanic lightning networks should detect the event and alert AVO staff. There is no real-time seismic monitoring network on Mount Cleveland so AVO is unable to track activity in real time.

DI inflation continued; lava was generally at high levels in both summit and rift vents. At Pu`u `O`o, glow persisted from the usual sources and lava was visible in the eastern collapse pit; to the southeast, surface flows from new breakouts advanced but had not reached the ocean. Seismic tremor levels were generally low; gas emissions were elevated. DI inflation continued over the past day, and appears to have peaked early this morning. Impressive spattering (see recent photos and video) was observed ...
