When there is nothing going on in Iceland. It is good to prepare for the future by checking out what has happened in the past. Here is a comparison of harmonic tremor data from few past eruptions. I only have limited set of data to work with here.<\/p>\n

Gr\u00edmsfjall volcano eruptions 2004 and 2011<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harmonic tremor indicates how strong the eruption is when it is happening. This is clearly visible on the harmonic tremor plots from the Gr\u00edmsfjall volcano eruptions in the year 2004 and compared to the eruption in Gr\u00edmsfjall volcano<\/a> eruption in the year 2011.<\/p>\n

This harmonic tremor plot is from the early start of the eruption. It clearly shows when the eruption starts and how it progressed during it’s first few hours.<\/p>\n

\nHere is the volcano eruption start in Gr\u00edmsfjall volcano on 23. May 2011. This is the start of the eruption. It clearly shows the difference from the eruption that took place in the year 2004. Both is that starts sharper. But is also a lot more powerful then the eruption in the year 2004. Copyright of this image belongs to Icelandic Meteorological Office.<\/em><\/p>\n

Eyjafjallaj\u00f6kull volcano and Katla volcano<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sometimes it is useful to compare two eruptions of two different volcanoes. This is useful when you really don’t have anything else to compare with.<\/p>\n

\nHarmonic tremor in Eyjafjallaj\u00f6kull volcano<\/a> eruption back in the year 2010. This is from the second phase of the eruption. But I seems to have misplaced or not saved harmonic tremor data from the first phase of the eruption (at least I cannot find them for the moment).

\nHarmonic tremor connected to a minor eruption in Katla volcano<\/a> in July 2011. This eruption was minor. But created a flood that took out a bridge. Copyright of this image belongs to Icelandic Meteorological Office.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nDiffrent SIL stations from the same minor eruption in Katla volcano in July 2011. This clearly shows that this minor eruption in Katla volcano was possibly larger then eruption in Eyjafjallaj\u00f6kull volcano year earlier (2010). But it did not manage to break the ice of M\u00fdrdalsj\u00f6kull glacier. Copyright of this image belongs to Icelandic Meteorological Office.<\/em><\/p>\n

Past data show and are useful to learn what happens in a volcano. For this reason I now save important information on what is happening in a volcano. So I can compare it with future activity when it takes place. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
