Kilauea Volcano Satellite Images Show Changes To Caldera Floor May 2018 Photo

Description: Kilauea Volcano Satellite Images Show Changes To Caldera Floor May 2018 Photo All photographs are processed at a professional photo lab and have standard white borders unless otherwise stated. We DO NOT sell desktop printer, discount chain or kiosk processed photos. Please note that this photo has moderately wider borders at top and bottom as shown. Here we have a photo of side-by-side radar amplitude images which were acquired by the Italian Space Agency's Cosmo-SkyMed satellite system and show changes to the caldera area of Kilauea Volcano that occurred between May 5 at 6:12 a.m. HST (left) and May 17 at 6:12 a.m. HST (right). The satellite transmits a radar signal at the surface and measures the strength of the reflection, with bright areas indicating a strong reflection and dark areas a weak reflection. Strong reflections indicate rough surfaces or slopes that point back at the radar, while weak reflections come from smooth surfaces or slopes angled away from the radar. The May 17 image was acquired after two small explosions from the summit eruptive vent. Major changes with respect to the May 5 image include: (1) a darkening of the terrain south of Halema‘uma‘u, which may reflect accumulation of ash over the 12-day period between the images; (2) enlargement of the summit eruptive vent on the floor of Halema‘uma‘u, from about 12 acres on May 5 to about 34 acres on May 17; and (3) the development of a small depression (area of about 15 acres) on the east rim of Halema‘uma‘u that reflects slumping of a portion of the rim towards the growing collapse pit on the crater floor.You can see our other Volcano items by clicking here.
