Ash plume dispersal forecast (1-2 Sep / VAAC Washington)
Compared to the previous week, activity - both at the surface (ash emissions) and internal (seismicity) has been somewhat lower.
Volcanic SO2 gas emissions remain very high (up to 15,000 tons/day), suggesting that a significant amount of magma is stored inside the volcano and continues to intrude into shallow dikes and reservoirs.
On 2 Sep, an eruption column reached 4 km height and fine ash fall was recorded in Sto. Domingo de los Colorados and Manabi.
