UPDATE to post by PuterMan


Smithsonian have now posted a message on their site.

The Global Volcanism Program apologizes for the error message that was displayed this past week. Due to holidays and staff health concerns, the weekly report upload was not accomplished properly, and then no staff was available to fix the problem. Please view the reports using the RSS Feed link to the left, or on our Facebook page's RSS tab. The next report is expected to be posted on Wednesday as usual.

I guess that resolves that then!

VERY quiet yesterday (25th Nov) Only 4 Mag 4 quakes, and if you use EMSC only 6.

Alysha.angel stated

below normal amount of mag 4p+ quakes globally

In the past 365 days just over 5,500 recorded by USGS. The USGS average of Mag 4 quakes per year is 13,000 however I just wonder if the reason it seems low is because of the recent USGS policy of not reporting under 4.5 and the fact that they really cover very little in Europe of the lower range.

Having said that EMSC have even fewer!! 5,268 over the same period so I guess Alysha.angel is right.








whadda ya mean, you guess i am right???? even tho i dont post often i do still follow but in the backround

Busier day today with average number of Mag 5s but still light on the Mag 4s. Vanuatu one interests me since, as I have said, I think this is due a biggie. Maybe this first one after 9 days which works out as ~Mag 5.1 Mw (the 4.7 is mb) is a foreshock?

Overall the trend is very slightly up again. Santa Maria had a little puff yesterday but ths is one of the 16 always erupting volcanoes so not counted as a new eruption.

Earthquakes

The Magnitude 5.9 on the coast of Papua New Guinea is recorded as a Mag 6 by EMSC and GFZ Potsdam. I find it very off that no phase data is available for this one even now nearly 24 hours after the event.

Seismic activity of the volcano continues but a magnitude of volcanic tremor decreased. Strombolian activity and an effuse of lava flows continues at the Tolbachinsky Dol. A large thermal anomaly was noted at the northern part of Tolbachinsky Dol.

Santa Maria gave a little spurt yesterday, Basically a continuation of the ongoing activity last reported upon by Smithsonian on 21st November.

INSIVUMEH reported in a special bulletin on 21 November that collapses of the fronts of lava flows on the NE, SE, S, and SW flanks of Santa María's Santiaguito lava-dome complex generated pyroclastic flows and ash plumes that rose 1 km. Ash plumes drifted 15 km S and SE, producing ashfall in Las Marías, Calaguache (9 km S), and Nuevo Palmar (12 km S). During 24-27 November incandescence was observed, lava flows were active on the SW and SE flanks, and ash plumes rose 500 m and drifted 15 km SW. On 27 November pyroclastic flows traveled short distances, and generated ash plumes that rose 500 m and drifted 10 km S and SE.

Tropical Cyclone BOPHA 25-30 NOV - Active (Western Pacific)

I know it has nothing to do with quakes, eruptions and so on but I think it has it's place in this thread for a brider view of the subject. D-day incoming

Maya Calendar

source
en.wikipedia.org...


The Maya name for a day was k'in. Twenty of these k'ins are known as a winal or uinal. Eighteen winals make one tun. Twenty tuns are known as a k'atun. Twenty k'atuns make a b'ak'tun.

The Long Count calendar identifies a date by counting the number of days from the Mayan creation date 4 Ahaw, 8 Kumk'u (August 11, 3114 BC in the proleptic Gregorian calendar or September 6 in the Julian calendar). But instead of using a base-10 (decimal) scheme like Western numbering, the Long Count days were tallied in a modified base-20 scheme. Thus 0.0.0.1.5 is equal to 25, and 0.0.0.2.0 is equal to 40. As the winal unit resets after only counting to 18, the Long Count consistently uses base-20 only if the tun is considered the primary unit of measurement, not the k'in; with the k'in and winal units being the number of days in the tun. The Long Count 0.0.1.0.0 represents 360 days, rather than the 400 in a purely base-20 (vigesimal) count.

There are also four rarely used higher-order cycles: piktun, kalabtun, k'inchiltun, and alautun.

Since the Long Count dates are unambiguous, the Long Count was particularly well suited to use on monuments. The monumental inscriptions would not only include the 5 digits of the Long Count, but would also include the two tzolk'in characters followed by the two haab' characters.

Misinterpretation of the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar is the basis for a popular belief that a cataclysm will take place on December 21, 2012. December 21, 2012 is simply the day that the calendar will go to the next b'ak'tun, at Long Count 13.0.0.0.0. The date on which the calendar will go to the next piktun (a complete series of 20 b'ak'tuns), at Long Count 1.0.0.0.0.0, will be on October 13, 4772.

Sandra Noble, executive director of the Mesoamerican research organization Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, Inc. (FAMSI), notes that "for the ancient Maya, it was a huge celebration to make it to the end of a whole cycle". She considers the portrayal of December 2012 as a doomsday or cosmic-shift event to be "a complete fabrication and a chance for a lot of people to cash in."[23]

I have just found out that there is actually a hurricane off the East coast of Canada. I spotted it on the UK et Office map but it did not mention hurricane. At 954 mb if pretty much had to be. Found a NOAA map for it. Yes it is a hurricane. Add 1 to the count.

No one it seems spotted the (un)intentional error yesterday. I inadvertantly included 3 events from the 30th.

It is VERY quiet at this time. The calm before the storm?. It is rare to see the LISS recorders in a flat calm so I had to preserve the current image.

Volcanoes

Plosky Tolbachik may be on red alert now but as is often the case with these remote volcanoes it can take some time for correct information to filter through. Currently KVERT is down and AVO still shows Orange. As far as I am aware it is still erupting lava (fissure eruption)

There are 4 orange alert volcanoes on the Kamchatka peninsula now

Alaid, YELLOW
Gorely, YELLOW
Karymsky, ORANGE
Kizimen, ORANGE
Tolbachik, ORANGE
Bezymianny, YELLOW
Kliuchevskoi, YELLOW
Sheveluch, ORANGE

Paluweh, 0604-15=, Lesser Sunda Islands is putting out ash


Manam 0501-02= (Papua New Guinea) is not erupting but is putting out ash.

The New Atlantic Hurricane I posted still has not appeared on the lists.



That concludes the report of yesterday 01 December 2012 UTC.

Just wait PM...

It's all going to happen at the 11th hour. The big KABOOM.

You just wait and see.




And by the way, for blowing my cover you no longer have a seat reserved on our Starscape modular lifepod. His holiness, the chief and headmaster himself, just tweeted me the updated list and you've been stricken off my fine feathered friend... yes, that's right... stricken off !

reply to post by CranialSponge


I look forward to the 11th hour with interest and shall be watching it from afar. You see I do not need an escape pod as I live on one. The Emerald Isle, God's own territory, will be spared any cataclysms.

Being as you are a banker your seat has probably been leveraged 30 times over.

By the way volcanoes on alert look as if they might be on the increase so maybe, maybe..................



ETA: I have it on the highest authority that the Holy Emerald Isle is safe.

T-18 Days and counting

Earthquakes

Overall the trend is very slightly up.

The Mag 6 expected did happen after what was a fairly long period without a Mag 6.

There is still no information available but recent satellite imagery may be finally detecting the low (atmospheric) level plume generated by the basaltic-andesite fissure eruption.

Shouldn't this include data from previous years to quantify? (Hurricane data)

I am impressed with the amount of effort you have put into this thread, I can appreciate the graphs are not easy to do.

Thank you. BAW33
