Visual observations and video footage analysis indicated that ash plumes rose to an altitude of 4 km (13,100 ft) a.s.l. on 17, 18, and 22 November. Based on observations of satellite imagery, ash plumes drifted SE and W on 21 and 22 November and a therma l anomaly was present in the crater every day during the reporting period. The Level of Concern Color Code remained at Orange.
Based on information from the KEMSD, the Tokyo VAAC reported that an eruption plume rose to an altitude of 5.5 km (18,000 ft) a.s.l. on 25 November.

TUNGURAHUA Ecuador 1.47°S, 78.44°W; summit elev. 5,023 m (8 km)
IG reported that although visual observations were limited due to cloud cover, ash-and-steam and ash plumes from Tungurahua rose to altitudes of 6-8 km (19,700-26,200 ft) a.s.l. during 21-27 November. Plumes mainly drifted W. On 21 November, lahars in S and NNW drainages were reported and reached 4-5 m high in one area. The road between Ambato and Baños was closed. Small lahars were also noted on 24 and 25 November. Roaring noises were heard on 24 and 25 November and ashfall was reported from multiple ar eas SW during 24-26 November. During 26-27 November, increased activity was characterized by numerous explosions that caused windows to vibrate in nearby areas. Overnight, incandescence at the crater was visible and incandescent blocks rolled about 1 km down the flanks. Steam-and-ash plumes drifted W and ashfall was reported in areas to the SW, W, and NE.

UBINAS Perú 16.355°S, 70.903°W; summit elev. 5,672 m (9.1 km)
Based on Significant Meteorological Information (SIGMET) advisories, the Buenos Aires VAAC reported that ash plumes from Ubinas rose to an altitude of 7.9 km (26,000 ft) a.s.l. and drifted NE on 20 November. During 24-27 November, ash plumes visible on satellite imagery rose to altitudes of 6.1-9.1 km (20,000-30,000 ft) a.s.l. and drifted NE, E, and SW.

Comet 17/P Holmes is a naked eye object in the constellation Perseus. Amazing is the expansion of debris from its explosion, creating a debris ball now greater in size than the Sun. See the Gallery of photos at www.spaceweather.com . This has repercussions for any effort to defend Earth against incoming NEO's from space.

SHIVELUCH Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia 56.653°N, 161.360°E; summit elev. 3,283 m (8 km)
KVERT reported that seismic activity at Shiveluch was above background levels during 2-9 November. Based on seismic interpretation, ash plumes rose to an altitude of 8.5 km (28,000 ft) a.s.l. and small hot avalanches occurred. Visual observations and video footage analysis indicated that ash and gas-and-steam plumes rose to altitudes of 6-8 km (19,700-26,200 ft) a.s.l. during 4-8 November. Clouds obscured views of the volcano on other days. Based on observations of satellite imagery, ash plumes drifted SW on 7 November and a thermal anomaly was present in the crater every day during the reporting period. The Level of Concern Color Code remained at Orange.
Based on information from the KEMSD, the Tokyo VAAC reported that eruption plumes rose to altitudes of 4.9-5.5 km (16,000-18,000 ft) a.s.l. on 11 and 13 November.

ST. HELENS Washington, USA 46.20°N, 122.18°W; summit elev. 2,549 m (low)


ASH AND GAS ERUPTIONS south of 23°N (with highest plume)


KELUT Java, Indonesia 7.93°S, 112.31°E; summit elev. 1,731 m (3.7 km)

KRAKATAU Indonesia 6.10°S, 105.43°E; summit elev. 813 m (low)

OL DOINYO LENGAI, eastern Africa 2.751°S, 35.902°E; summit elev. 2,890 m (3.5 km)

KILAUEA Hawaii, USA 19.43°N, 155.29°W; summit elev. 1,222 m (low, no lava into ocean)

TUNGURAHUA Ecuador 1.47°S, 78.44°W; summit elev. 5,023 m (9 km)
IG reported that although visual observations were limited due to cloud cover, ash-and-steam and ash plumes from Tungurahua rose to altitudes of 6-9 km (19,700-30,000 ft) a.s.l. during 7-13 November. Plumes mainly drifted W and SW and ashfall was reported from multiple areas downwind, including areas to the N and NW. Roars and "cannon shots" were also reported from several areas. A seismic station recorded a lahar on the SW flank that lasted about 30 minutes on 10 November. The next day, fumarolic activity on the NW edge of the crater rim was noted. Incandescent blocks propelled from the summit landed on the flanks and rolled a few hundred meters during 7-13 November. Incandescent blocks traveled 1 km down the flanks on 12 November.

UBINAS Perú 16.355°S, 70.903°W; summit elev. 5,672 m (6.7 km)

Ion plumes can go from Earth's surface to space, triggered by solar CME's.
http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2007/13nov_africa.htm
There is a graphic for 20 Nov 2003 of a plume in the U.S. after a CME, with USGS records of a 6.5M quake in Samar, Philippines on 16 Nov 2003 and a 7.8M in the Rat Islands, Aleutian Islands, Alaska, on 17 Nov 2003.

SHIVELUCH Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia 56.653°N, 161.360°E; summit elev. 3,283 m (8.5 km)
KVERT reported that seismic activity at Shiveluch was above background levels during 26 October-2 November. Based on seismic interpretation, ash plumes rose to an altitude of 6.8 km (22,300 ft) a.s.l. and small hot avalanches occurred. Observations of video footage indicated that ash and gas-and-steam plumes rose to altitudes of 5-5.3 km (16,400-17,400 ft) a.s.l. on 25, 26, and 31 October, and 1 November. Based on observations of satellite imagery, ash plumes drifted SE during 2 7-31 October and a thermal anomaly was present in the crater every day during the reporting period. The Level of Concern Color Code remained at Orange. Based on information from KVERT and KEMSD, the Tokyo VAAC reported that eruption plumes rose to altitudes of 5.2-8.5 km (17,000-28,000 ft) a.s.l. during 4-6 November.

TUNGURAHUA Ecuador 1.47°S, 78.44°W; summit elev. 5,023 m (8 km)
IG reported that although visual observations were limited due to cloud cover, ash-and-steam and ash plumes from Tungurahua rose to altitudes of 5.5-8 km (18,000-26,200 ft) a.s.l. during 31 October-6 November. Plumes drifted NNE, N, NW, W, and SW, and occasionally followed explosions. Ashfall was reported from areas downwind every day during the reporting period. On 31 October and 3 November, roars were heard. Incandescence and incandescent blocks at the summit were observed on 1, 2, and 5 November. On 4 November, th e road to Baños in the La Pampas sector to the S was temporarily closed due to lahars.

Comet 17/P Holmes is a naked eye object in the constellation Perseus. Amazing is its expansion of debris from the explosion, creating a ball greater than Jupiter.

This has repercussions for any effort to defend Earth against incoming NEO's.

Comet 17/P Holmes is a naked eye object in the constellation Perseus. Amazing is its expansion of debris from the explosion, creating a ball greater than Jupiter.

This has repercussions for any effort to defend Earth against incoming NEO's.

(Compiled by Stephen on Pinpoint; Mid Points by Donald,
approximated from http://www.fourmilab.ch/earthview/pacalc.html )

With sufficient triggering by great quakes it appears that the planet responds with 6M quakes to vertical and north/south milestones of the Moon, in particular the apogee, perigee, mid points between them, and the crossing of the Equator and less so the northern and southern limits of the Moon's position over the Earth. The full effect has lasted three weeks....Editor

Comments or questions are welcome.
