Here are some images of the Iceland volcanic ash plume as seen by this
morning's noaa19 overpass at 0448z. The activity seems to have increased
considerably.

I think holidaymakers with plans to travel abroad should be hoping for
a summer that is anything but the blocked Atlantic that we've already
had a couple of times. The SW hoteliers and tourist industry must be
hoping for exactly that. Whether this will continue, or stop tomorrow,
is impossible to predict, but there's more than a chance of this
continuing and certainaly a chance that it may get worse. Much worse
would not be desirabe at all and doesn't really bear thinking about!

At some stage Katla will blow up, then we will have a *mega* problem. 2012
perhaps :-))

.... from this morning's Met Office bulletin (via:-

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/...t_weather.html )


" Volcanic Ash Update

The latest information from the Icelandic Met Office states that the
ash plume from Eyjafjallajokull briefly reached heights of up to
32,000 feet during Wednesday evening. The plume is being blown
southwards, away from Iceland and to the west of Ireland. The ash
cloud currently over southwestern Britain should clear away through
the course of today. Issued at 0648 on Thu 06 May 2010. "

seems as if the eruption has, at least temporarily, become more
intense - impacting the stratosphere (this was commented-upon in
another post).

Lat: 50.82N Long: 01.88W
NGR: SU 082 023

Assessment - 05 May 2010 20:50
Increased seismicity suggests that new material is intruding from deep below
Eyjafjallajökull and latest GPS-observations suggest inflation. So far,
GPS-signals are not large.

Plume at 5.5-6.5 km height (a.s.l.) according to IMO's weather radar.

Due to mild weather and snowmelt, increase in discharge was noticed in
Markarfljót peaking at midnight. Discharge from Gígjökull seems to be
decreasing and oscillations in water temperature at the old Markarfljóts
bridge relate to air temperature. Pulses of mel****er from Gígjökull are
unnoticeable.

Lava flows to the north and spreads at 500 m a.s.l. The lava tongue is about
200 m wide and lava channels that join at the tongue are about 30-60 m wide.
The lava channels gets wider every day.

There are no signs that the eruption is about to end.
