iceland Bárðarbunga and Askja - Volcanic Activity

[NorthNorfolkWeather]

In my opinion this is harmonic tremor at a mag 3/4 sort of level. Looks dangerous as hell. K215.JPG

Wotcha Rusty,

 

It's a couple of months since this started, and we're still waiting for something to happen in the caldera.

 

Plenty happening around the eruption as well

Morning Barbardarians.

Reasonably quiet o/n on the GPS.

But on the EQ chart all three sites in the vicinity recorded a biggie (mag>5?) at 06:00, but strangely doen't appear on the Barb IMO update charts. (yet?)

No cams as yet.

latest news from IMO

 

27 October 2014 12:00 - from the Scientific Advisory Board

Geothermal heat is increasing. A cauldron in the southeast corner of Bárðarbunga has deepened about 25 meters. This is thought to be linked to the subsidence of the Bárðarbunga caldera.

Pollution Warning in Höfn: Keep Kids Inside By Eygló Svala Arnarsdóttir October 27, 2014 09:15

The pollution in the East Fjords in early September. Photo: Zoë Robert.

The Civil Protection Department advises people living in and around Höfn, Southeast Iceland, to drive their children to school today and to keep the children inside during breaks because of extreme sulfur dioxide (SO2) pollution from the eruption in Holuhraun.

SO2 levels measured 1,200 mµ/m3 in Höfn this morning but between 4,200 and 6,600 mµ/m3 in the nearby rural areas Mýrar and Suðursveit. SO2 levels exceeded 21,000 mµ/m3 in the region yesterday. Inhabitants were advised to keep their windows closed during the night.

Continued eruption pollution is forecast in Southeast Iceland today, ruv.is reports.

“The model we use to monitor the gas distribution indicates that there will be pollution in that area on an off during the next 36 hours and [it will] move to the east late in the night,†stated director of the Civil Protection Department Víðir Reynisson.

The website of the Environment Agency of Iceland reads that at SO2 levels higher than 2,000 mµ/m3 everyone may experience respiratory symptoms, especially individuals with underlying diseases.

Above 9,000 mµ/m3 the symptoms grow more severe and above 14,000 mµ/m3 the situation is considered to be hazardous.

Further information on the volcanic gases in English, including a link to a map showing pollution meters in different locations in Iceland are available on the agency’s website.

so almost 25% of those quakes were over M3.  That's a high %

after seeing that pic in link

 

and then the report from imo as posted by allseasons earlier

 

i assume the pic above is what they are referring too

 

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.

Observation from air on Friday show that the depres

sion in the caldera is

40 meters.

ï‚·

Geothermal heat is increasing in Bardarbunga. A cauldron in the southeast corner of Bardarbunga has deepened

about 25 meters over a one month period. The depression is considered to be linked to the depression of the

Barda

rbunga caldera

i thought 25% was pretty high too
