| 16.07.2013 | Volcano Activity | Japan | Prefecture of Kagoshima, [Sakurajima volcano, Kyushu] |  |  |
Volcano Activity in Japan on Tuesday, 16 July, 2013 at 03:24 (03:24 AM) UTC.
| Description | |
| The volcano remains in a state of elevated activity. Ash emission and explosions have been occurring with no break when observed from nearby during the past night: The volcano constantly emitted dilute to dense ash plumes in the form of both steady plumes or in single puffs. The ash emissions occured in long-lasting phases that were either completely silent or, more often, accompanied by weak to loud hissing and roaring sounds of degassing that swell and decrease in pulses, resembling the sound of airplane turbines. It appears that this activity corresponds to deep-seated strombolian activity. At night, faint glow could sometimes be seen at the crater during the emissions. Every 6-8 hours on average, the volcano also had its typical stronger vulcanian-type explosions that ejected a dense mass of solid including incandescent material out of the crater and produced loud detonating sounds, followed by taller ash plumes that reached 6,000-10,000 ft (1.8-3 km) altitude. |
