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.

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.
SPECIAL REPORT
The Solar Satellites Called STEREO
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/stereo/sun/index.html
The home page provides an in depth look at the new pair of
satellites that caught a CME cutting off a comet's tail on 1
October. These satellites will also give first warning of
new CME's.
Comments or questions are welcome.

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.

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.

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.
SPECIAL REPORT
Ion Plumes
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.
Comments or questions are welcome.

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.

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.

IG reported that although visual observations were limited due
to cloud cover, ash-and-steam and ash plumes from Tungurahua
rose to altitudes of 5.5-6.5 km (18,000-21,300 ft) a.s.l.
during 23-30 October. Plumes drifted E, SE, SW, W, and NW. On
25 October, ashfall was reported in areas on the SW flank.
During 25-26 October, incandescence was observed at the summit
and noises resembling "cannon shots," blocks rolling down the
flanks, and roars were heard. On 28 October, ash plumes rose
to 13 km (43,000 ft) a.s.l. During 28-29 October, noises
resembling blocks rolling down the flanks and roars were again
heard and ashfall was reported in areas to the NNE, N, and
NNW.

Based on a Significant Meteorological Information (SIGMET)
advisory, pilot reports, and observati ons of satellite
imagery, the Buenos Aires VAAC reported that ash plumes from
Ubinas rose to altitudes of 5.5-8.5 km (18,000-28,000 ft)
a.s.l. and drifted NW and NE during 23-27 October.

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.

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

IG reported that ash plumes from Tungurahua, occasionally noted
after explosions, rose to altitudes of 5.5-9 km (18,000-29,500
ft) a.s.l. during 17-23 October. Plumes drifted all directions,
except to the E and SE. On 17 October, incandescent material
propelled from the summit by explosions fell onto the flanks. A
resultant ash plume drifted W. Fumarolic activity was noted on
the NW flank. During 17-18 October, ashfall was reported from
areas to the NW, N, and SW. On 19 October, lahars descended NW
drainages and consequently the road between Ambato and Baños was
closed.
During 20-21 October, explosi ons vibrated windows and doors in
areas 8 km to the SW and N, including Tungurahua Observatory (OVT)
in Guadalupe, 11 km N. On 21 October, incandescent material was
ejected from the crater and roaring noises were heard. Ashfall
was reported from areas to the SW on 21 October.

BEZYMIANNY Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia 55.98°N, 160.59°E;
summit elev. 2,882 m (9.1 km)
During 5-12 October, KVERT reported that seismic activity at
Bezymianny was at background levels. Based on observations of
satellite imagery, a thermal anomaly was present in the crater
on 4, 6, 8, and 11 October. Fumarolic activity was observed
during 6-7 and 10-11 October. Based on seismic interpretation,
a hot avalanche probably occurred on 10 October.
Based on observations of satellite imagery and seismic
interpretation, a small eruption occurred on 15 October. Ash
plumes drifted SE and a strong thermal anomaly was present in
the crater. Based on information from KEMSD and observations
of satellite imagery, the Tokyo VAAC reported that an ash
plume rose to altitudes of 7.3-9.1 km (24,000-30,000 ft) a.s.l.
and drifted E and SE. T he level of Concern Color Code was
raised from Yellow to Red.
No ash plumes were present on 16 October, and seismicity was
only slightly above background levels. The level of Concern
Color Code was lowered to Orange.

Thanks to Stephen, who
supplied this reference and derived data for the maximum
velocity between the Moon's Near and Far Points. This is
important because the Moon changes from zero velocity at those
points to a maximum between them, and gravitational forces
change at this point.
Comments or questions are welcome.

Perseid Meteors peak with the New Moon on 8/12. A stream of
debris from Comet Swift-Tuttle is causing meteors to appear
from the constellation Perseus. The recent Perseid meteor rate
was less than 5 per hour, but it is building to an impressive
peak of ~100 per hour due Sunday night. See NASA article at
http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2007/11jul_greatperseid

Total lunar eclipse
occurs on 28 August.
SPECIAL REPORT
Earthquake Energy: Ground Force
From
http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v434/n7034/edsumm/e050407-09.html
This article contends
that much of an earthquake's energy is consumed in pulverizing
rock.

(1.5 km)
SANGAY Ecuador 2.03°S, 78.34°W; summit elev. 5,188 m (8.2
km)
Based on pilot observations, the Washington VAAC reported that
an ash plume from Sangay rose to an altitude of 6.7-8.2 km
(22,000 to 27,000 ft) a.s.l. on 28 July. Ash was not detected
on satellite imagery but a weak hotspot could be seen.
SOUFRIÈRE HILLS Montserrat, West Indies 16.72°N, 62.18°W;
summit elev. 1,052 m (low)
TUNGURAHUA Ecuador 1.47°S, 78.44°W; summit elev. 5,023 m (8
km)
As noted by the IG in their daily reports covering 25-31 July,
Tungurahua emitted a substantial number of small ash-bearing
explosions and several unusually large ones as well. Based on
ground observer estimates, many plumes during the reporting
interval rose to 2-3 km above the crater rim (up to ~ 1 mile
above the crater) and dropped ash on towns located on the
volcano's flanks.
On the 26th, the IG reported one of the larger explosions, the
biggest since March 2007 ( its seismic signal yielded a
reduced displacement of 9.2 cm2). Associated ashfalls affected
some parts of the volcano. The explosion took place at night
and the plume height was not estimated.
On the 30th IG observers witnessed another strong explosion
that generated a heavily ash-laden plume. The dense portion of
the plume rose 400 m above the crater rim. A similar plume had
not been seen since 16 August 2006. The associated column of
less dense material rose to 3 km and visible portions of dense
material appeared as a curtain of ash deposited to the W. Some
blocks associated with the outburst rolled up to 0.5 km below
the crater's rim. Visibility hampered further observations
that day but the many emission noises included the hammering
of bouncing blocks.
Tungurahua's 25-31 July activity spurred numerous VAAC
reports, but satellite analysts generally had great difficulty
with cloudy conditions and few if any plumes were clearly
detected.

Strombolian and Vulcanian activity at the summit crater, lava
flows, and phreatic bursts at the SE flank of the volcano were
observed on 8 and 13 June. Based on video and visual
observations, ash plumes rose to altitudes of 7 km (23,000 ft)
a.s.l. during 8-10 and 13 June and drifted E, SE, and NW. Ash
plumes were visible on satellite imagery drifting multiple
directions during 8-15 June.
KVERT reported that seismicity increased on 19 June at 1010.
Beginning at 04 00 on 20 June, ash plumes were visible on
satellite imagery, drifting W. Based on atmospheric profiles,
plume altitudes rose to an altitude of 6.5-7.5 km (21,300-24,600
ft) a.s.l. Ashfall was reported from Kozyrevsk village. The
Level of Concern Color Code was raised to Red.

KILAUEA Hawaii, USA 19.43°N, 155.29°W; summit elev. 1,222 m
(low, lava into ocean one site)
During 13-19 June, lava from Kilauea flowed SE across a growing
lava delta into the ocean at the Poupou entry. On 14 June, the
Petunia flow went over the top of the Pulama pali. On 16 June,
the front of the Petunia flow advanced down the Pulama pali and
was about 90-180 m wide.
On 17 June, a swarm of earthquakes and rapid deflation began at
0215 in the upper E rift zone. The earthquakes were centered
about 1 km SW of Mauna Ulu and about 1.5-3 km deep. About 70
earthquakes were recorded in the first 2 hours; at least 10 of
those earthquakes were M 3 or greater. NPS crews evacuated
visitors and closed the Chain of Craters road and the Crater Rim
Drive between Jaggar museum and the Thurston lava tube parking
lot. Fresh cracks about 2 cm wide opened in the Chain of Craters
road near the Mauna Ulu turnoff. GPS receivers in the area of
most intense seismic activity documented an approximate 10 cm of
widening across the rift zone, near Makaopuhi crater. HVO
observers noted rockfalls from the S wall of Pu'u 'O'o cone and
collapse of the crater floor around the vents.
On 18 June, the earthquake swarm continued at a lower rate;
about 10 to 15 small earthquakes per hour were recorded compared
to more than about 100 per hour the morning of 17 June. Strong
tremor be neath the summit was recorded and deflation continued.
GPS receivers continued to show widening across the rift zone to
more than 40 cm. According to a news article, Crater Rim drive
and a few trails were re-opened to the public.
HVO reported on 19 June that a magma intrusion was thought to
have started in the Mauna Ulu area early on 17 June and
subsequently moved slowly 6 km E along the rift zone. A large
area of Pu'u 'O'o's crater floor had subsided about 20 m since
17 June. GPS receivers continued to show extension across the
rift zone to about 100 cm. HVO scientists confirmed a new
50-m-long lava flow from a 200-m-long fissure in the forest NE
of Kane Nui o Hamo, approximately 6 km W of Pu'u 'O'o and 13 km
SE of Kilauea summit. Steam plumes were spotted on the N flank
of Kane Nui o Hamo. Steam and gas issued from the fissure.
Seismicity decreased on 20 June and GPS receivers no longer
showed extension on the rift zone. Aerial views of the crater
floor and SW flank indic ated more subsidence since 18 June.

KVERT reported that seismic activity at Shiveluch continued above background levels during 1-8 June and a thermal anomaly in the crater was detected on satellite imagery. Gas-and-steam plumes rose to altitudes of 4.5 km (14,800 ft) a.s.l. during 1-3 and 5 June. Ash plumes rose to altitudes of 4.5-6 km (14,800-19,700 ft) a.s.l. on 1 and 6 June and were seen on satellite imagery drifting S and SE on 3 and 6 June. Based on seismic interpretation, multiple ash plum es rose to 6.5 km (21,300 ft) a.s.l. during 1-8. The Tokyo VAAC reported that eruption plumes rose to altitudes of 4.3-9.1 km (14,000-30,000 ft) a.s.l. on 9, 11, and 12 June, based on information from KVERT and KEMSD. Ash was not identified on satellite imagery. The Level of Concern Color Code remained at Orange.

KILAUEA Hawaii, USA 19.43°N, 155.29°W; summit elev. 1,222 m (low, lava into ocean at one site)
During 6-12 June, lava from Kilauea flowed SE across a growing lava delta into the ocean at the Poupou entry. Incandescence was visible from several vents in the Pu'u 'O'o crater and on 10 June from breakouts above the Pulama pali fault scarp and on 11 June at the base of the pali. An earthquake s w arm that began on 12 May continued beneath the S flank and upper rift zones. Aerial observation and satellite imagery confirmed that the 2-km-long Petunia flow, initiating about 1 km S of Pu'u 'O'o crater, was somewhat active. Surface flow activity was seen inland of the Poupou entry on the E side of the flow field.
