A fissure eruption on the Kilauea volcano on the island of Hawaii began on 05 March 2011 — and 3 days later, McIDAS images of GOES-11 3.9 \u00c2\u00b5m shortwave IR data (above; click image to play animation)<\/strong><\/em> displayed a prominent “hot spot” (yellow to red enhanced pixels)<\/em> during the day on 08 March 2011<\/strong>.<\/p>\n GOES-11 0.65 \u00c2\u00b5m visible images (below; click image to play animation)<\/strong><\/em> showed the hazy summit plume spreading southwestward during the day. This volcanic plume contained high levels of sulphur dioxide (SO2), as seen on an image of OMI total column SO2<\/strong><\/a> (courtesy of NOAA\/NESDIS<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n GOES-11 0.65 \u00c2\u00b5m visible images (click image to play animation)<\/p><\/div>\n About 3000 miles (4800 km ) to the north, GOES-11 0.65 \u00c2\u00b5m visible images (below; click image to play animation)<\/strong><\/em> showed the movement of ice in the Bering Sea west of Alaska. Note that the motion of the ice was toward the northeast<\/em> early in the animation, but then changed to motion toward the southwest<\/em> later in the day. Surface winds along with tidal currents in the Bering Sea have an influence on the overall motion of the ice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n GOES-11 0.65 \u00c2\u00b5m visible images (click image to play animation)<\/p><\/div>\n The motion of the ice in the Bering Sea could also be seen on a sequence of AWIPS images of POES AVHRR 0.86 \u00c2\u00b5m visible channel data (below)<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>
