From the AGU Mail List: From: Dan Shackelford ****************************** Guagua Pichincha, Ecuador ****************************** The 29 October bulletin reports no explosions in the past 24 hours but numerous hybrid and long period earthquakes did occur. Somewhat lessened degassing/fumarolic activity was present, generally rising less than 200m. However, at 0950 the gas column achieved a height of some 1200m. A new dome is present, and generally at the new dome the fumarolic plume rises to less than 100m. From: http://www.cybw.net/volcan/ ****************************** Tungurahua, Ecuador ****************************** The 25 October bulletin for Tungurahua shows that continual gas and ash emissions are occurring, with ashfalls to the W. Explosions are now being reported as well, while incandescent blocks are rolling down the flanks for some 1,000m. Nighttime observations clearly show incandescent tephra projections for the past two days. Strong tremor is saturating the seismic records. The 1 November report on Tungurahua shows that 21 explosions have occurred in the past 24 hours, there have volcano-tectonic earthquakes, as well as hybrid and long period events. Ash column rising to 3km above the crater. A small dome was seen within the summit crater, less than 300m in diameter. From: http://www.cybw.net/volcan/ ---------- New ash eruption at Tungurahua began at 1330 GM on 4 Nov with ash cloud to approximately 30,000 feet (9km) above sea level. Local ash falls in all directions but main ash cloud is moving to the S.

Ash reached to approx. 19,000' above sea level (nearly 6km) and drifted to S. Colima experienced a brief ash eruption to 18,000 feet (~5.5km) above sea level on 4 Nov at 1505 GMT.
