ALASKA VOLCANO OBSERVATORY DAILY UPDATE
U.S. Geological Survey
Sunday, April 10, 2016, 1:30 PM AKDT (Sunday, April 10, 2016, 21:30 UTC)
PAVLOF VOLCANO
(VNUM #312030)
55°25'2" N 161°53'37" W,
Summit Elevation 8261 ft (2518 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: ADVISORY
Current Aviation Color Code:
YELLOW
Activity at Pavlof remains at very low levels. Satellite and web camera observations were partly obscured by clouds. A few small earthquakes were recorded over the past day but these do not necessarily represent a significant increase in seismic activity.
Pauses in vigorous eruptive activity of days to weeks are common during eruptive episodes of Pavlof Volcano. A return to robust explosive activity remains possible and could occur with little or no warning. Thus, AVO will continue to monitor the volcano closely and will issue additional information as necessary.
CLEVELAND VOLCANO
(VNUM #311240)
52°49'20" N 169°56'42" W,
Summit Elevation 5676 ft (1730 m)
Current Volcano Alert Level: ADVISORY
Current Aviation Color Code:
YELLOW
No significant activity observed at Cleveland over the past day. Satellite observations were obscured by clouds. Seismic and infrasound data are currently out. The cause of and duration of this outage are not known at this time.
OTHER ALASKA VOLCANOES
Other Alaska volcanoes show no signs of significant unrest:

AVO scientists conduct daily checks of earthquake activity at all seismically-monitored volcanoes, examine web camera and satellite images for evidence of airborne ash and elevated surface temperatures, and consult other monitoring data as needed.
