Volcanic SO2 emissions This data-set presents volcanic gas emission data from NOVAC, the global Network for Observation of Volcanic and Atmospheric Change. For each volcano, data from one or several NOVAC Scanning mini-DOAS instruments are combined with meteorological information to derive daily statistics of total SO2 emission from the volcano. The gas emission is calculated using the ScanDOAS technique described in the paper: Galle, B., Johansson, M., Rivera, C., Zhang, Y., Kihlman, M., Kern, C., Lehmann, T., Platt, U., Arellano, S. and Hidalgo S. (2010), Network for Observation of Volcanic and Atmospheric Change (NOVAC) —A global network for volcanic gas monitoring: Network layout and instrument description, J. Geophys. Res., 115, D05304, doi:10.1029/2009JD011823. Details of the evaluation are described in a forthcoming publication: Arellano, S., Galle, B., the NOVAC collaboration (2019), Synoptic analysis of a decade of daily measurements of SO2 emission in the troposphere from volcanoes of the Network for Observation of Volcanic and Atmospheric Change, submitted. Different versions of the data exist, depending on the algorithms and meteorological information used in the evaluations. In this version, analysed wind data from ECMWF ERA-interim database was used, with a resolution of 0.125×0.125 deg, 6 h time resolution and up to 60 vertical levels from ground up to 0.1 hPa. Data is interpolated to the location of the volcanic vent and time of measurement for each flux calculation. Typically 1 – 3 instruments are installed on each volcano in order to cover different wind directions and facilitate plume height estimates. About 50 individual measurements are made by each instrument each day. Data from the different instruments are combined and if certain quality parameters are fulfilled a valid measurement results. Only daytime measurements are possible as the method uses sky light for the measurement. For days having 5 or more valid measurements an average emission, standard deviation and other statistics are calculated. Data files are provided in netCDF and ASCII formats, following the GEOMS standard that includes metadata and data in the same file. Also figure files in PNG format are provided for the daily emission rate of each volcano. CAMS81_2017SC1 – 2018 global anthropogenic emissions Page 7 of 24 Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service 3.

    WFP LATIN AMERICA & CARIBBEAN REGION COVID-19 Logistics Situation Update #10 23 September 2020 Date 07 July 2020 Month YYYY 1. Highlights Constraints Hurricane Season (Source: National Hurricane Center) Atlantic: • Hurricane Sally (CAT 2): Sally made landfall at Mobile, Alabama on 16 September early morning as a category 2 hurricane. As a slow-moving storm, Sally brought life-threatening storm surge and flash flooding to Alabama, Mississippi and Florida. Hundreds of people were rescued from flooding areas and more than half million population were left without electricity. Sally weakened to a tropical depression on 16 September. • Major Hurricane Teddy (CAT 4): Teddy is expected to transition to a powerful post-tropical cyclone as it moves near or over portions of Atlantic Canada on 22 September through 24 September where direct impacts from wind, rain and storm surge are expected. Very large swells produced by Teddy are expected to affect portions of Bermuda, the Leeward Islands, the Greater Antilles, the Bahamas, the east coast of the United States, and the Atlantic Canada during the next few days. These swells are expected to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. • Tropical Storm Vicky: Last advisory on Vicky was issued on 17 September. The remnant low should remain on a west south-westward heading while it is steered by the low-level north-easterly trade wind flow over 18-19 September. • Tropical Storm Beta: Beta weakened to a tropical depression on 22 September. Significant flash and urban flooding are occurring and will continue to occur for coast of Texas today. The slow motion of Beta will continue to produce a long duration rainfall event from the middle Texas coast to southern Louisiana.

Our simulation scheme considers three critical factors with different spatial and time scales: the geo- magnetic effects, the development of extensive air showers in the atmosphere, and the detector response at ground level. The muon energy dissipation along the path crossing the geological structure is mod- eled considering the losses due to ionization, and also contributions from radiative Bremßtrahlung, nuclear interactions, and pair production.

  • Magmatic Evolution of the Nevado Del Ruiz Volcano, Central Cordillera, Colombia Minera1 Chemistry and Geochemistry
    Magmatic evolution of the Nevado del Ruiz volcano, Central Cordillera, Colombia Minera1 chemistry and geochemistry N. VATIN-PÉRIGNON “‘, P. GOEMANS “‘, R.A. OLIVER ‘*’ L. BRIQUEU 13),J.C. THOURET 14J,R. SALINAS E. 151,A. MURCIA L. ” Abstract : The Nevado del RU~‘, located 120 km west of Bogota. is one of the currently active andesitic volcanoes that lies north of the Central Cordillera of Colombia at the intersection of two dominant fault systems originating in the Palaeozoïc basement. The pre-volcanic basement is formed by Palaeozoïc gneisses intruded by pre-Cretaceous and Tertiarygranitic batholiths. They are covered by lavas and volcaniclastic rocks from an eroded volcanic chain dissected during the late Pliocene. The geologic history of the Nevado del Ruiz records two periods of building of the compound volcano. The stratigraphie relations and the K-Ar dating indicate that effusive and explosive volcanism began approximately 1 Ma ago with eruption of differentiated andesitic lava andpyroclastic flows and andesitic domes along a regional structural trend. Cataclysmic eruptions opened the second phase of activity. The Upper sequences consist of block-lavas and lava domes ranging from two pyroxene-andesites to rhyodacites. Holocene to recent volcanic eruptions, controled by the intense tectonic activity at the intersection of the Palestina fawlt with the regional fault system, are similar in eruptive style and magma composition to eruptions of the earlier stages of building of the volcano. The youngest volcanic activity is marked by lateral phreatomagmatic eruptions, voluminous debris avalanches. ash flow tuffs and pumice falls related to catastrophic collapse during the historic eruptions including the disastrous eruption of 1985.

The Cordillera Central in Colombia hosts four important glacier-clad volcanoes, namely Nevado del Ruiz, Nevado de Santa Isabel, Nevado del Tolima and Nevado del Huila. Public and scientific attention has been focused on volcano–glacier hazards in Colombia and worldwide by the 1985 Nevado del Ruiz/Armero catastrophe, the world’s largest volcano–glacier disaster. Important volcanological and glaciological studies were undertaken after 1985. However, recent decades have brought strong changes in ice mass extent, volume and structure as a result of atmospheric warming. Population has grown and with it the sizes of numerous communities located around the volcanoes. This study reviews and reassesses the current conditions of and changes in the glaciers, the interaction processes between ice and volcanic activity and the resulting hazards. Results show a considerable hazard potential from Nevados del Ruiz, Tolima and Huila. Explosive activity within environments of snow and ice as well as non-eruption-related mass movements induced by unstable slopes, or steep and fractured glaciers, can produce avalanches that are likely to be transformed into highly mobile debris flows.

  • Revision 2 Understanding Magmatic Processes at Telica Volcano
    Revision 2 Understanding magmatic processes at Telica volcano, Nicaragua: Crystal size distribution and textural analysis Molly Witter1,2*, Tanya Furman1, Peter LaFemina1, Maureen Feineman1 1 Department of Geosciences, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, PA 16802, USA 2 Now at: Department of Geological Sciences, Stanford University, 397 Panama Mall, Stanford CA, 94305 USA * Corresponding author: [email protected] 1 Abstract 1 Telica volcano in Nicaragua currently exhibits persistent activity with continuous seismicity and 2 degassing, yet it has not produced lava flows since 1529. To provide insight into magma 3 chamber processes including replenishment and crystallization, crystal size distribution (CSD) 4 profiles of plagioclase feldspar phenocrysts were determined for Quaternary Telica basalts and 5 basaltic andesites. Textural analysis of fourteen highly crystalline lavas (>30 vol.% phenocrysts) 6 indicates that the samples are dominated by sieve-textured plagioclase feldspar phenocrysts 7 whose origin requires thermochemical disequilibrium within the magmatic system. The CSD 8 curves display an inverse relationship between phenocryst length and population density. 9 Concave-up patterns observed for the Telica lava samples can be represented by linear segments 10 that define two crystal populations: a steeply-sloping segment for small crystals (<1.5 mm) and a 11 gently-sloping segment for crystals >1.5 mm in length. The two crystal populations may be 12 explained by magma replenishment and a mixing model in which a mafic magma is introduced 13 to a stable chamber that is petrologically and geochemically evolving. Residence times 14 calculated using the defined linear segments of the CSD curves suggest these magmatic 15 processes occur over time scales on the order of decades to centuries.
