[ACTUEEL] Vulkanen IJsland #20: Uitbarsting Bardarbunga

quote:

• The volcanic eruption in Holuhraun continues with similar intensity. The lava field is now 65,7 squere kilometres.
• Seismic activity in Bardarbunga continues to be strong. 200 earthquakes have been detected in the caldera over the last 48 hours. Just over ten earthquakes were bigger then magnitude M4,0. The largest one was M5,3 tonight at 01:30.
• The GPS station in the centre of Bardarbunga show that the subsidence of the caldera continues with similar rate as it has done over the last few weeks. The total depression in the caldera is now about 42 meters.
• Energy of the geothermal areas in Bardarbunga is now few hundred megawatts and the melting of water is estimated around 2 cubic meters per. second. The water goes into Skjálfandafljót og Jökulsá á Fjöllum. The flow is too small to effect the total water flow of the rivers.
• Around 20 smaller earthquakes are detected in the dyke and at the eruption site in Holuhraun, all around magnitude M1,0 and smaller.
• GPS measurements in the active area show minor changes.

A recommendation by the Scientific Advisory Board of the Icelandic Civil Protection:
The Scientific Advisory Board concludes that it is necessary to increase monitoring of SO4 so it is possible to evaluate the concentration of sulphuric acid particles and its potential influence on health.

Ik zie in de weersvoorspellingen hogedrukgebieden die boven IJsland komen te liggen. Dit lijkt me toch vrij ernstig met die enorme hoeveelheid gassen die vrijkomen.

• The volcanic eruption in Holuhraun continues with similar intensity. Driving conditions are becoming hard in the area around the eruption site and on the road into the area making observation of the eruption more difficult for the scientists in the field.
• Seismic activity in Bardarbunga continues to be strong. Since Monday, the 3. of November, 200 earthquakes have been detected in the caldera. The largest measured earthquake was on Tuesday, November 4. at 20:45 of M4,8. A total of 15 earthquakes were of sizes between M 4 and 5; 15 of sizes between M3 and 4. No earthquakes larger than M5 have been observed since Sunday.
• The GPS station in the centre of Bardarbunga shows that the subsidence of the caldera continues with similar rate as it has been doing over the last few weeks. Measurements carried out from the air show that the greatest subsidence of the Bárđarbunga caldera has now reached 44 meters.
• Energy of the geothermal areas in Bardarbunga is now few hundred megawatts and the melting of water is estimated around 2 cubic meters per. second. Aerial observations on Tuesday November 4th show that the geothermal cauldrons in Báđarbunga have deepened by 5-8 meters over the past 11 days.
• Only 30 smaller earthquakes were detected in the dyke and at the eruption site in Holuhraun since Monday, none larger than M2,0.
• GPS measurements in the active area show minor changes, there are however signs of a slight decrease in the subsidence towards the Bárđarbunga volcano.

• The volcanic eruption in Holuhraun continues with similar intensity. Lava continues to flow out of the lava lake in the crater. The lava field continues to grow to the south. Yesterday a helicopter from the Icelandic Cost Guard used to examine conditions by the southern edge of the lava field, were lave is flowing on a 3-5 km wide area.
• Seismic activity in Bardarbunga continues to be strong. The biggest earthquake that was detected over the last two days was on Monday, 10. November at 22:39 of magnitude M5,2. In total 15 earthquakes between M4,0 and M5,0 were detected over the period. From noon on Monday the total number of earthquakes was around 130.
• Very few smaller earthquakes were detected in the dyke and at the eruption site in Holuhraun.
• An earthquake swarm was detected in Tungnafellsjokll glacier yesterday. The biggest earthquake was at 10:07 of magnitude M2,8.
• The subsidence of the Bardarbunga caldera continues with similar rate as last few weeks. Yesterday the GPS station was lifted out of the snow, which is now falling on the glacier. The sharp rise seen on the graph on the Icelandic Met Office web page, is the result of this operation.

quote:

• The volcanic eruption in Holuhraun continues with similar intensity as it has for the last two weeks. Lavacontinues to flow out of the lava lake in the crater to east southeast. Convection of sulphuric dioxide from the crater appears to be constant.
• Seismic activity in Bardarbunga continues to be strong but number of earthquakes stronger then M5,0 seem to be decreasing. The biggest earthquakes that were detected over the last two days were yesterday, 13. November at 20:46 of magnitude M4,9 and at 23:08 of magnitude M4,8. In total 17 earthquakes bigger then M4,0 were detected over the period but no earthquake stronger then M5,0 has been detected for four days. From noon on Wednesday the total number of earthquakes in Bardarbunga was around 140.
• About 25 smaller earthquakes were detected in the dyke and at the eruption site in Holuhraun. All of them under magnitude M1,5.
• The subsidence of the Bardarbunga caldera continues with similar rate as last few weeks although the rate of the depression appears to be slower.
• GPS measurements outside of Bardarbunga show that the displacement is slowing down.
