The thing I find most mesmerizing isn't just the fountain of lava but the volume coming out of the vent and the speed of the river of lava flowing away from it.

I hadn't realised that most of the summit explosions were in the dark - did wonder why we hadn't seen footage.

Could be really interesting.

Past conferences were at 11am... so this was probably recorded before the 12ish eruption at the summit.

This animated GIF shows a sequence of radar amplitude images that were acquired by the Agenzia Spaziale Italiana CosmoSkyMed satellite system. The images illustrate changes to the caldera area of Klauea Volcano that occurred between May 5 and June 14 at about 6:00 a.m. HST. The satellite transmits a radar signal at the surface and measures the strength of the return, with bright areas indicating a strong return and dark areas a weak return. Strong returns indicate rough surfaces or slopes that point back at the radar, while weak returns come from smooth surfaces or slopes angled away from the radar. Over time, expansion of the summit eruptive vent within Halema'uma'u crater and the widening of Halema'uma'u itself are clear. The last four images in the sequence, from May 29-June 14, show the development of several cracks outside Halema'uma'u (also seen in recent UAS footage of the crater) and inward slumping of a large portion of the western, southwestern, and northern crater rim. Much of this motion appears to be coincident with the small explosions from the summit that have taken place on a near daily basis over the past 2 weeks. We expect this slumping to continue as long as the explosions and overall subsidence persist.

A very good question. Since that earlier photo with the roads on the '60s flow. I would have thought it went faster than that in a tropical zone., but I guess my not well researched concept was wrong.

Could you accelerate that by deliberately seeding hardy plants? Maybe run a hoe with an arm mounted hydra-hammer in a few spots?

I forgot to post this earlier.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-hawaii-volcano-relief/trump-approves-disaster-aid-for-hawaiis-volcano-stricken-big-island-idUSKBN1JB09L

HONOLULU (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday approved federal emergency housing aid and other relief for victims of the six-week-old Kilauea Volcano eruption on Hawaii’s Big Island, where hundreds of homes have been destroyed, state officials said.

The approval came a day after Governor David Ige formally requested assistance for an estimated 2,800 residents who have lost their homes to lava flows or were forced from their dwellings under evacuation orders since Kilauea rumbled back to life on May 3.

Hawaii County Mayor Harry Kim has said that rivers of molten rock spewed from volcanic fissures at the foot of Kilauea have engulfed roughly 600 homes. The governor’s office put the number of residences destroyed at 455.

Either tally marks the greatest number of homes claimed over such a short period by Kilauea - or by any other volcano in Hawaii’s modern history - far surpassing the 215 structures consumed by lava in an earlier eruption cycle that began in 1983 and continued nearly nonstop for three decades, experts say.

The latest volcanic eruption also stands as the most destructive in the United States since at least the cataclysmic 1980 explosion of Mount St. Helens in Washington state that reduced hundreds of square miles to wasteland.

So how much and how long does it have to rain to stop a river of lava?

The changes at the coast line are really interesting to watch. The pools that form and then get filled in are pretty wild looking.

We are taking Saddle Rd to Hilo today. Someone said we can see the lava from there when the sun starts to go down.

Maybe we will take 11 back to Kona and pass Kilauea. Im wondering if we could see some red glow at night from that high vantage point.

We're you able to get a close view? @Brundoggie

I ciphered on that, myself, after I heard there's basically a permanent light rain falling from a pyrocumulous cloud.

Short answer, hurricane 3" an hour type rain. Light to intermittent moderate rain is almost a non factor for lava cooling with a flow like this. Like trying to put out a forest fire with half a dozen trigger spray bottles on mist. The light rain doesn't even reach the lava. It evaporates a few feet over the surface just from the heat that already escaped the lava, so it has no actual effect on the lava directly, re cooling the flow.
Link Posted: 6/16/2018 3:49:51 PM EST
[#38]
A heavier rain, while I don't know this absolutely, would likely only have the effect of hastening formation of a lava tube. Under the crust formed that way, the flow would continue, and possible even increase, because of the insulating effect of a layer of foamy glass.

Would be neat to see, though. Math is fun, but actually seeing shit is better.

Very impressive. I heard the other day that the lava is flowing with such volume and force that it created a hydraulic jump coming out of the cone. Lava is roughly 3 times the density of water and 100,000 times as viscous, so imagine the magnitude of the forces at play here.

With the amount of steam coming out of that thing right now it looks like there is going to be a major collapse or an eruption. Looks like steam is now coming out of the center of the crater.
