Long Time No Sea

Well this was easier than the Vivaldi Blog.

I have never understood why it should be difficult to process images online.

This was the analysis for noon on the last day of August 2021.
I have been rekindling my interest in the weather . It had curdled for me, once I realised that some massive agency is running it for its own interests

I have no idea this Anticyclone has been dithering here.
I had assumed it would be Sinabung causing it but I have not found evidence yet.

Sinabung

Indonesia

3.17°N, 98.392°E; summit elev. 2460 m

PVMBG reported that on most days during 3-10 August white gas-and-steam plumes from Sinabung rose as high as 500 m above the summit and drifted in multiple directions. Avalanches of lava traveled 500-700 m down the E and SE flanks during 4-7 August. The Alert Level remained at 2 (on a scale of 1-4), and the public was warned to remain outside of the 2-km exclusion zone.

PVMBG reported that white-and-gray plumes rose 100-300 m above Sinabung during 20-21 July and drifted N, NE, E, and SE. During 21-27 July white plumes rose as high as 400 m and drifted NE, E, and SE. At 1320 on 28 July an eruption produced an ash plume that rose 4.5 km above the summit and drifted E and S; the event lasted for about 12 and a half minutes. The Aviation Color Code was raised to Red. The Alert Level remained at 2 (on a scale of 1-4), and the public was warned to remain outside of the 2-km exclusion zone.

Geological Summary. Gunung Sinabung is a Pleistocene-to-Holocene stratovolcano with many lava flows on its flanks. The migration of summit vents along a N-S line gives the summit crater complex an elongated form. The youngest crater of this conical andesitic-to-dacitic edifice is at the southern end of the four overlapping summit craters. The youngest deposit is a SE-flank pyroclastic flow 14C dated by Hendrasto et al. (2012) at 740-880 CE. An unconfirmed eruption was noted in 1881, and solfataric activity was seen at the summit and upper flanks in 1912. No confirmed historical eruptions were recorded prior to explosive eruptions during August-September 2010 that produced ash plumes to 5 km above the summit.

I should find it interesting like meeting old friends.

But these charts now seem alien to me.

And positively deadly.

I would have been all over this with rapture

That was in another life

I wonder if I can go straight to video with this stuff.

I don’t have to mess about downloading these images, one click and I am away. With video I should be able to dispense with typing and spelling mistakes

I still can’t believe how slowly an anticyclone deflates even knowing it is being produced by nuclear powered furnaces somewhere in the South Atlantic. Most likely in a British base off the Falkland Islands. I wonder if I has been asked to join them or else…

Would I have had the gumption not to?

Probably not.I really would like to be rich despite any protestations I may have made. However they never asked so let’s get on with it.

Chart t=72 is interesting.Where can we find a cold swarm and a warm swarm

I know. The Mid North Atlantic Ridge!

And Where on Etna can we find a volcano?

Etna (Sicily, Italy): (30 Aug) Volcanic Ash Advisory Center Toulouse (VAAC) issued the following report: ERUPTION AT 20210829/1500Z EXPLOSIVE ACTIVITY OVER OBS VA DTG:30/0430Z
