AVO/USGS Volcanic Activity Notice
Volcano: Cleveland (CAVW #1101-24-)
Current Volcano Alert Level: UNASSIGNED
Previous Volcano Alert Level: ADVISORY
Current Aviation Color Code: UNASSIGNED
Previous Aviation Color Code: YELLOW
Issued: Friday, September 10, 2010, 10:42 AM AKDT (20100910/1842Z)
Source: Alaska Volcano Observatory
Notice Number: 2010/A7
Location: N 52 deg 49 min W 169 deg 56 min
Elevation: 5676 ft (1730 m)
Area: Aleutians Alaska
Volcanic Activity Summary: Several clear-weather satellite views of Cleveland from September 7 and 8 reveal no thermal anomaly nor recent deposits. The last observed thermal anomaly was on September 1. AVO is therefore moving the volcano alert level/aviation color code from Advisory/Yellow to UNASSIGNED.
Without a real-time seismic network at Cleveland, AVO is unable to track local earthquake activity related to volcanic unrest. Short-lived explosions with ash clouds that could exceed 20,000 ft above sea level can occur without warning and may go undetected on satellite imagery for hours. Low-level ash emissions at Cleveland occur frequently and do not necessarily mean a larger eruption is imminent. AVO continues to monitor the volcano using satellite imagery.
Recent Observations:
[Volcanic cloud height] Unknown
[Other volcanic cloud information] Unknown
