That looks like HT. Has it erupted?

Mm, not looking so like HT in the spectrum view

=================

Lots of crashes if you try and use the help in the QVS Data program. Most fixed now along with the illegible service status.

Thanks. Yes I had a look. What I find interesting about the spectrum is that although it is presumably HT there are few if any harmonics which was why I was not sure. It is almost all confined in the 1 Hz range and nothing much showing above that.

Odd.

Here's another for the UK...'all at sea' this time

Hierr o spectrum yesterday

Hier ro spectrum today

Now I think we are seeing some harmonic in the signal but either this I would not have said this was clear - not like others I have looked at. I wish I could get to hear this one to aid future identification.

It seems to be increasing which you can clearly see if you click over to the seismo view. If this is HT then what we have (not) seen so far may only just be the beginning.

ETA: The space before the O and the R in Hierro is a quirk of ATS!

Jon Friemann has suggested that the magma movement could have been into an empty chamber as a result of the 4.4, if this is the case then something far more serious could be building up for the people of El Hierro.You can see his comments on Erik Klemetti's blog Eruptions @ that site Wired.

@PuterMan and Robin Marks......Hunter Full Moon today....we shall see!

Looks like they are announcing the evacuation of La Restinga on El Hierro. Tremors are being felt on La Palma. New vents/old seem to be opening up ON LAND.

Magma moving and trembling last 34 hour after Oct 09, UTC ..

These stations in the NC network often display this signal - for weeks on end sometimes. It may have a certain similarity to the El Hierro seismogram, but you cannot make the assumption that this is magma on the move.

You should show the full image



You would then see that the setting on this instrument is 200 mV so it is fairly sensitive.

If you look at the last 15 days page you can see this happens. A couple of nice 'pops' on the 7th, but otherwise this looks pretty much like it always does.


Original

The publicly available station CI.RCT is almost right next to that seismo MRH and possibly on the same site.

Here is the plot for yesterday RCT.CI..BHZ.2011.283 and for today RCT.CI..BHZ.2011.284

The big red splodge (a technical term) is not an earthquake, in fact I would say all of this looks like wind in the background and some other interference causing the bigger signals. Magma it is not.

Here is a spectrum of the big red splodge

As you can see it bears no resemblance to the spectrums at El Hiero. It also sounds like electro magnetic interference.

Just for good measure here is 1200 to 1400 UTC today

Also sounds electronic and has no HT at all.

As always with these things what something may first appear to be is not always the case, much like I said with El Hierro where the seismo looked like HT but the spectrum was odd. You always - if possible - need to find another instrument close by. In the US this is generally not a problem.
