VONA/Kamchatkan and Northern Kuriles Volcanic Activity
Volcano: Bezymianny (CAVW #1000-25-)
Current Aviation Color Code: RED
Previous Aviation Color Code: orange
Issued: 20120901/2258Z
Source: KVERT
Notice Number: 2012-13
Volcano Location: 55.97 N, 160.6 E
Area: Kamchatka, Russia
Summit Elevation: 9452.96 ft (2882 m)
Prognosis of Volcanic Activity: Explosive eruption of the volcano continues. Ongoing activity could affect international and low-flying aircraft.
Volcanic Activity Summary: Explosive eruption began at 19:16 UTC on September 01, ash plume rose up to 13,100 ft (4 km) a.s.l. at this time. Ash plume rose up to 32,800 - 39,400 ft (10-12 km) a.s.l. at 19:30 UTC on September 01. Eruption of the volcano continues.
Volcanic cloud height: ash plumes are extending to the north-east of the volcano.
Other volcanic cloud information:
Remarks:
Addinional information: Bezymianny volcano is one the most active volcano of the world. In 1955, for the first time in history, Bezymianny started to erupt and after six months it produced a catastrophic eruption with the total volume of eruptive products over 3 km3. The lava dome began to grow in the explosive caldera immediately after the catastrophe and continues at now. 43 Vulcanian-type strong explosive eruptions of Bezymianny occurred in 1965-2012, while 20 of them producing ash up to 10-15 km a.s.l.
Last eruption occurred on: 2012/3/8

In Russia, KVERT, on behalf of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (IVS) FED RAS, is responsible for providing information on volcanic activity to international air navigation services for the airspace users.
KVERT scientists was available in the office from 8:30 AM till 6:00 PM (KST) 7 days in week and by phone during the evenings since 2005. KVERT analyses daily satellite imagery (since 2002 till now);
information from remote scientific observation stations; real-time seismic data for 11 Kamchatkan volcanoes (data from the Kamchatkan Branch of Geophysical Survey RAS); and other information to monitor activity at Kamchatkan and Northern Kuriles Volcanoes.
