(1) VOLCANO OBSERVATORY NOTICE FOR AVIATION (VONA) (2) Issued:20161209/0614Z (3) Volcano:Ebeko (CAVW #290380) (4) Current Aviation Color Code:YELLOW (5) Previous Aviation Color Code:green (6) Source:KVERT (7) Notice Number:2016-190 (8) Volcano Location:N 50 deg 41 min E 156 deg 0 min (9) Area:Northern Kuriles, Russia
(10) Summit Elevation:3791.68 ft (1156 m)(11) Volcanic Activity Summary:According to the data by observers from Severo-Kurilsk (Paramushir Island, Northern Kuriles), gas-steam plumes containing small anount of ash rose up to 1.5 km a.s.l. and extended for about 6 km to the north from Ebeko volcano on 08-09 December. Satellite data by KVERT showed a weak thermal anomaly over the volcano on 08 December, but ash plumes were not detected on 08-09 December.\n\nA moderate gas-steam with small anount of ash activity of the volcano continues. Ash explosions up to 16,400 ft (5 km) a.s.l. could occur at any time. Ongoing activity could affect low-flying aircraft and airport of Severo-Kurilsk.
