Popocatépetl volcano (Mexico): sporadic strong explosions


CENAPRED's surveillance cameras observed a few moderate-to-strong vulcanian explosions during the past two days.
On 4 September at about 13:00 local time, a dense dark ash plume reached approx. 20,000 ft (6,100 m) altitude and drifted NW. Another eruption occurred today at 08:22 local time as the volcano sent ash column to 19,000 ft (5,800 m) height.
The seismic network recorded 466 minutes of low amplitude internal tremor associated with near-constant vulcanian explosions
98 emissions of water vapor and gases were detected.
The warning bulletin states that ballistic impacts of volcanic bombs and pyroclastic flows could affect an area of about 12 km distance from the main crater.
