AVO/USGS Volcanic Activity Notice
Volcano: Cleveland (CAVW #1101-24-)
Current Volcano Alert Level: ADVISORY
Previous Volcano Alert Level: UNASSIGNED
Current Aviation Color Code: YELLOW
Previous Aviation Color Code: UNASSIGNED
Issued: Sunday, September 12, 2010, 11:26 AM AKDT (20100912/1926Z)
Source: Alaska Volcano Observatory
Notice Number: 2010/A8
Location: N 52 deg 49 min W 169 deg 56 min
Elevation: 5676 ft (1730 m)
Area: Aleutians Alaska
Volcanic Activity Summary: AVO is raising the volcano alert level/aviation color code at Cleveland Volcano from unassigned to ADVISORY/YELLOW based on the presence of thermal anomalies in satellite data yesterday and a possible ash plume this morning. Satellite images of Cleveland Volcano this morning have detected a possible ash plume drifting east from the volcano. Estimated plume height is about 25,000 ft above sea level.
Without a real-time seismic network at Cleveland, AVO is unable to track local earthquake activity related to volcanic unrest. Short-lived explosions with ash clouds that could exceed 20,000 ft above sea level can occur without warning and may go undetected on satellite imagery for hours. Low-level ash emissions at Cleveland occur frequently and do not necessarily mean a larger eruption is imminent. AVO continues to monitor the volcano using satellite imagery.
Recent Observations:
[Volcanic cloud height] Unknown
[Other volcanic cloud information] Unknown
