Alaska Volcano Eruption 2017: Expert Explains Why Predicting When Bogoslof Volcano Will Erupt Is Tricky
Mark Jason Alcala [It has a lot to do with the quality of the Canadian charts but all we have to do is look at the ones prepared for the United States or Mexico]
Volcanic eruptions are [designed to produce fish food whilst extending the continental shelves and paradise islands at the same time as alleviating earthquake stresses]
The tallest chimneys in the world are prime examples of carbondioxide producers and some of the most fruitful environments. In fact the largest of them all is the paradise island of Hawaii, a weather recording station used to measure the cleanest atmosphere for comparing with heat islands in large industrial cities with slum-lord relic Victorian designs. {Fixed that for you!}
Yet, the threat they pose is conveniently tucked somewhere in the back of everyone’s mind, perhaps because people don’t usually see a volcano erupting every day. [Unless they live in Italy which is famous for suing geologists for negligence the way that we should be suing meteorologists in Britain.] Which is why the recent eruption of a volcano in Alaska caught everyone [not reading my posts] by surprise; there simply was
Alaska Volcano Erupts Without Warning [from any meteorological agencies despite clearly producing charts that indicate volcanic eruptions seven days in advance with an option for a week earlier than that.]
Last week, the Alaska Volcano Observatory announced that a volcano in Alaska erupted, sending ash clouds high up in the air, CNN reported. Located in the Aleutian Islands, the Bogoslof Volcano erupted at 2:16 p.m. last May 28, 2017, which lasted for around 50 minutes. But what could anyone expect from the Clinton News Network?
The volcanic eruption sent clouds of ash into the atmosphere reaching as high as 35,000 feet. As a result [Of the water content carrying the debris to the tropopause] {the water is capable of continuing to the outer atmosphere where it either combines with solar storms or is mistaken for solar wind} an Aviation Color Code Red took effect, the highest level in aviation, due to the potential danger the ash clouds could pose to jet engines of airliners.
[Such dangers are no longer so devastating as most pilots learn how to deal with the problems and avoid them] {whilst high bypass engines designed by Rolls Royce and shared with all other manufacturers tend to be as immune to ash for the same reason that the tropical ice clouds that exist at the height jet airliners fly in tropical conditions were overcome with the design of the turbo-propeller.}

With the vulnerability of jet engines to volcanic ash [jet fans are now made out of titanium and are frozen chicken and explosively destruction-proof these days. Yet] eruptions have disrupted air traffic in the past. For instance, the 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajökull Volcano in Iceland temporarily crippled air travel in Europe, affecting as many as tens of thousands of flights. Fortunately, no further emissions from the Alaskan volcano have been observed and the alert level was subsequently lowered to orange. [Because it is a different colour to red.]
Predicting Volcanic Eruptions
With the help of modern equipment and technologies, the U.S. Geological Survey [has spent vainglorious amounts of taxpayer's dollars so that they]
can tell days or even months in advance if a volcano is about to erupt [and still failed to come up with anything useful.]
According to Scientific American, the signs include sulphurous gases and
increased seismic activity indicating that magma is about to breach the surface. [In many ways imitating real life.]
However, the May 2017 eruption of the Bogoslof Volcano in Alaska

It has something to do with its location and the size of the island, according
to AVO research geologist Michelle Coombs in an interview with Scientific
American. Simply put, the island is too small that it would be a waste if
monitoring equipment were to be placed there and it is too far away to be
effectively covered by the nearest sensors. [which is why they designed HAARP in the first place!]
“Bogoslof is a tiny island, less than one kilometer across, and 50 kilometers
away from the nearest island with monitoring equipment,” Coombs answered when asked if there is a way to tell imminent eruption {because they insist on not answering the question. They get to spend more money indefinitely, like that.}
“It’s a very sensitive area for marine wildlife; it’s a seabird and marine
mammal habitat, and a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service [FWS] wilderness area. Even if we had put instruments directly on Bogoslof prior to December, they would simply have been destroyed because the island is so small.” [What does anyone expect geologists to know about mooring buoys and light ships?]
However, AWO has a way to track ongoing eruptions as part of their monitoring efforts. In the case of last week’s eruption, Coombs revealed that the observatory had to get creative to get abreast of things. They used hydrophones to monitor seismic waves moving through the water column. In addition, they also employed infrasound sensors and lightning sensors to measure sound waves during explosions and detect volcanic lightning respectively.
With the system in place, Coombs assures that AWO is responsive to threats
future eruptions may pose to air travel. AWO receives automated text message from the array of sensors in place that will be quickly looked into by a trained analyst. Within minutes, AWO can notify the Federal Aviation Administration, as well as the National Weather Service, should the situation become a cause of concern for air safety.
