Volcano Activity in Nicaragua on Thursday, 27 December, 2012 at 04:46 (04:46 AM) UTC.

Description
Nicaragua's government officials on Wednesday issued a yellow (preventive) alert and began the precautionary evacuation of some 300 families in the province of Chinandega (northwest) after new ash emissions started at San Cristobal volcano, following an impressive increase in seismic activity. "San Cristobal volcano, located 135 km northwest of Managua, resumed activity with small fumes gases and ash" said Guillermo González, director of the Prevention, Mitigation and Attention to Disasters Network (SINAPRED). González said ash columns reach up to 500 meters high, slightly affecting volcano surrounding towns of Tonala, Morazán, Puerto Corinto and Chichigalpa, but without causing any damage. First lady and government spokesperson Rosario Murillo, confirmed they have ordered the evacuation of 300 families living in the area. San Cristobal is the tallest of Nicaragua's seven active volcanoes. On September 8, it began active with gas and ash explosions that reached five miles high.

interesting quakes popping near torfajokull
notice they popped all together, twice?

first time was a set of four, and just now a set of two?

interesting. sort of like the creases in a balloon being smoothed out as it inflates?

Description
The series of small ash explosions starting on 25 Dec at around 20h00 local time continued throughout the night and increased in intensity during the morning of 26 Dec. Activity decreased around noon yesterday, but resumed again in the afternoon with 4 more explosions between 13:25 - 16:11 h local time at intervals of 20-60 minutes, accompanied by strong pulses of tremor. More ash emissions and explosions have followed and are at times near continuous. The height of the ash columns is reported to be about 500-800 m above the crater. VAAC Washington was able to observe the ash plumes on satellite and issued warnings about ash plumes at 14,000 (4.2 km) altitude. Light (few mm) ash fall has occurred in up to 6 km distance from the volcano including in several inhabited areas located mainly NW, W, SW and S of the volcano, namely in El Viejo, Grecia No. 1 and 4, Las Rojas, Banderas, and Abraham Rugama. INETER recommends to the population to protect the water supply sources and children in particular from inhaling ash, and has demanded air traffic control to deviate flight paths in the area. The Nicaraguan president has declared orange alert for the departement of Chinandega and authorized the preventive measure to evacuate families living within 3 km radius from the volcano. More than 200 families were reported to have auto-evacuated out of fear the eruption might intensify.

Volcanic activity world-wide 27-28 December 2012: Lokon, San Cristobal, Tungurahua, Copahue, Mammoth Mountain

Friday Dec 28, 2012 10:13 AM | Age: 9 hrs

BY: T

Lokon volcano in North Sulawesi has had another explosion yesterday (27th) at 16:50 local time. The ash plume appears to be of considerable height, although Darwin VAAC has not (yet) published a warning.

The eruption of Tungurahua volcano in Ecuador continues at fluctuating, but generally reduced intensity compared to the previous week, but there are still occasional weak to moderate explosions and near constant steam and ash emissions that produce a column rising up to about 2 km above the crater.
The current seismic signal shows a moderately strong tremor present.

Ash emissions continue at Nicaragua's San Cristobal volcano. So far, the size of explosions has been small with ash columns of 500-800 m and only light ash fall has occurred in areas mainly to the west and southwest. However, evacuations of people within a 3 km radius around the volcano have started as a precaution.

The number of emissions from Popocatépetl volcano in Mexico has dropped again to only about 1-2 per hour, but the type activity, small puffs of steam, gas and sometimes ash, remains essentially unchanged.

Copahue volcano in Chile produced new ash emissions on 27 Dec. Ash clouds at 10,000 ft (3 km) altitude extending about 50 km NE along with strong SO2 emissions were visible on satellite data.

Another small earthquake swarm (smaller than the one end of Oct) has started last night at Mammoth Mountain west in California, west of the Long Valley caldera. Many small quakes have been occurring in an area5 km SW of the mountain at depths around 20 km. [link to www.volcanodiscovery.com]

Further increase in the seismic activity of the volcano Tungurahua
December 27, 2012

...From December 24 noted an increase in associated seismic signals at mobilizing and pressurizing fluid into the volcano and accounted for a total of 228 long period events (LPs) on 24, 169 on 25 LPs and 130 the December 26. Today it continues to record a large number of LPs, and from approximately 07:00 (local time) is recorded seismic signal length, called tremor, that increases in amplitude and energy over time. Associated with this activity is reported constant bellowing generation of high intensity, heard by the inhabitants of the areas around the volcano.
From the data obtained from the monitoring network Geodetic volcano can conclude that the volcano does not return even at levels considered base and inflation remains a pattern, especially in the sensors observed deformation of the upper northern flank.
...It is necessary to remind the authorities and the community in general, there is no worldwide monitoring system for anticipating the occurrence and extent of pyroclastic flows. So it is necessary to maintain measures to safeguard the security of the community, especially those who live or work in high-risk areas.
It has been established that the eruption occurred on December 16, 2012 was a deposit of 1.1 million cubic meters of ash...
According to data obtained from the monitoring network of gas was determined that the SO2 emission rate increased progressively from the 15th of December and peaked at 3000 tonnes on December 21. These values are considered low to moderate and suggest that the volcano is not actually releasing gases related to magmatic intrusion, thus maintaining the internal pressure and is what is causing the current earthquakes and explosions.

...Recent Observations at Kilauea summit: The summit tiltmeter network recorded the switch to DI inflation at about 1:30 am this morning

and the lava lake surface started to rise at about the same time. The most recent (preliminary) sulfur dioxide emission rate measurement was 900 tonnes/day on December 27, 2012. A small amount of ash-sized tephra (mostly fresh spatter bits and Pele's hair) was carried out of the vent in the gas plume and deposited on nearby surfaces.

Seismic tremor levels were low. Eight earthquakes were strong enough to be located beneath Kilauea over the past 24 hours: 2 beneath the west edge of the summit caldera, 1 deep quake northeast of the summit, 1 beneath the summit caldera, 1 to the north of the east rift zone, and 3 on south flank faults...

Description
Some 370 people living in communities on the skirts of San Cristobal Volcano, in the northwestern department of Chinandega, have evacuated their homes to escape the cloud of noxious gases emitted from the volcano for the past three days. More than 110 people are in shelters and another 260 have evacuated their homes to stay with family members, according to the government. The volcano, which belched back to life on Dec. 25, has covered a dozen nearby communities in ash and gas, prompting many people to evacuate the area on their own. Some 38 children are being treated in shelters for respiratory complications, according to the government. No other serious injuries, deaths or damages have been reported. First lady Rosario Murillo has asked other families remaining behind to evacuate also, but says "thank god" the eruptions have not grown more violent in the past 24 hours. "We want to ask these families living on the skirts of the volcano or nearby, with all our hearts, to accompany us on the evacuation rout or to evacuate yourselves, either to homes of family members or to shelters," Murillo said on Thursday. The year-end eruption by San Cristobal Volcano concludes a busy 2012 for Nicaragua’s tallest volcano. The colossus belched an ash cloud 5,000 meters into the air following the earthquake in Costa Rica last September.
