Mt. Fitzherbert
USGS Update 2004-Nov-23 09:15
Wind forecasts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), coupled with eruption models, show that ash clouds that rise high above the crater rim today would drift southeastward.
Recent observations: Field work and visual observations were impossible yesterday owing to poor weather. Early this morning, a few VolcanoCam images showed the usual night-time glow, but a low overcast will probably limit viewing today. The new GPS Spider that sits atop the new lava dome continues to move southeastward at a rate of about 10 meters (33 feet) per day, reflecting continued expansion of the dome. The other newly installed Spiders with GPS and seismic sensors are operating well. Numerous photographs of the crater and lava dome taken on Saturday (20 November) are available on the CVO website.
