VONA/KVERT WEEKLY INFORMATION RELEASE 24-2017
Kamchatkan and Northern Kuriles Volcanic Activity
June 16, 2017, 02:44 UTC (June 16, 2017, 14:44 KST)
KVERT monitor 30 active volcanoes of Kamchatka and 6 active volcanoes of Northern Kuriles. Not all of these volcanoes had eruptions in historical time, however they are potentially active and therefore are of concern to aviation.
SUMMARY OF AVIATION COLOR CODES:
KAMCHATKA

SHEVELUCH VOLCANO (CAVW #300270)
56.64 N, 161.32 E; Elevation 10768 ft (3283 m), the dome elevation ~8200 ft (2500 m)
Aviation Color Code is ORANGE
Explosive-extrusive eruption of the volcano continues. Ash explosions up to 32,800-49,200 ft (10-15 km) a.s.l. could occur at any time. Ongoing activity could affect international and low-flying aircraft.
A growth of the lava dome continues (a viscous lava flow reveal in the northern its part), strong fumarole activity, ash explosions, hot avalanches and an incandescence of the dome blocks and hot avalanches accompany this process. According to video and satellite data by KVERT, the power explosive eruption began at 1625 UTC on 14 June: explosions sent ash up to 12 km a.s.l., ash clouds extended for about 1000 km to the north-east and south-west from the volcano on 14-16 June. Ash falls were noted at Klyuchi, Maiskoe, Kozyrevsk and Atlasovo Villages. On 10-13 June, explosions sent ash up to 8 km a.s.l. and ash clouds drifted for about 1500 km to the south-east and north-west from the volcano.

KLYUCHEVSKOY VOLCANO (CAVW #300260)
56.06 N, 160.64 E; Elevation 15580 ft (4750 m)
Aviation Color Code is ORANGE
Explosive eruption of the volcano continues. Ash explosions up to 26,200-32,800 ft (8-10 km) a.s.l. could occur at any time. Ongoing activity could affect international and low-flying aircraft.
Explosive eruption of the volcano continues. According to satellite data by KVERT, a weak thermal anomaly over the volcano was noted on 11-16 June. Explosions sent ash up to 6-7 km a.s.l. all week, and ash plumes drifted for about 580 km to the south-west and south-east from the volcano.

BEZYMIANNY VOLCANO (CAVW #300250)
55.97 N, 160.6 E; Elevation 9453 ft (2882 m)
Aviation Color Code is ORANGE
Activity of the volcano is gradually increasing. Ash explosions up to 32,800-49,200 ft (10-15 km) a.s.l. could occur at any time. Ongoing activity could affect international and low-flying aircraft.
A moderate activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed some increase of temperature of thermal anomaly over the volcano. According to video data by KB EGS RAS, a gas-steam plume up to 4 km a.s.l. and hot avalanches from the lava dome were observing on 15 June.

54.05 N, 159.44 E; Elevation 4874 ft (1486 m)
Aviation Color Code is ORANGE
Moderate eruptive activity of the volcano continues. Ash explosions up to 16,400-19,700 ft (5-6 km) a.s.l. could occur at any time. Ongoing activity could affect low-flying aircraft.
A moderate eruptive activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed a thermal anomaly over the volcano on 10-12 and 14-15 June.

EBEKO VOLCANO (CAVW #290380)
50.69 N, 156.01 E; Elevation 3792 ft (1156 m)
Aviation Color Code is ORANGE
A moderate gas-steam with some amount of ash activity of the volcano continues. Ash explosions up to 16,400 ft (5 km) a.s.l. could occur at any time. Ongoing activity could affect low-flying aircraft and airport of Severo-Kurilsk.
According to the data by observers from Severo-Kurilsk (Paramushir Island, Northern Kuriles), a moderate explosive activity of the volcano continues. Satellite data by KVERT showed the volcano was quiet or obscured by clouds.

In Russia, KVERT, on behalf of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (IVS) FEB RAS, is responsible for providing information on volcanic activity to international air navigation services for the airspace users.
KVERT scientists was available in the office from 8:30 AM till 6:00 PM (KST) 7 days in week and by phone during the evenings since 2005. KVERT produces daily satellite monitoring (since 2002 till now); analyses information from remote scientific observation stations and seismic data for volcanoes: Alaid, Avachinsky, Bezymianny, Gorely, Karymsky, Kizimen, Klyuchevskoy, Koryaksky, Mutnovsky, Plosky Tolbachik, Sheveluch, Ushkovsky, Zhupanovsky (from the Kamchatkan Branch of Geophysical Survey RAS); and other information to monitor activity at Kamchatkan and Northern Kuriles Volcanoes.

ЗЕЛЕНЫЙ Вулкан находится в нормальном – неэруптивном состоянии. или, после того, как перешел от более высокого уровня активности: Вулканическая активность считается прекратившейся, или вулкан вернулся к нормальному – неэруптивному состоянию. |
ЖЕЛТЫЙ Вулкан проявляет признаки повышения активности выше известного уровня фона. или, после того, как перешел от более высокого уровня активности: Вулканическая активность значительно снизилась, но тщательный мониторинг продолжается, потому что возможно возобновление ее роста. |
ОРАНЖЕВЫЙ Вулкан проявляет повышенную активность с высокой вероятностью извержения. или,
Извержение вулкана идет с отсутствием или незначительным выбросом пепла. |
КРАСНЫЙ Извержение, по прогнозам неизбежно со значительным выбросом пепла в атмосферу. или,
Извержение идет со значительным выбросом пепла в атмосферу. |
