Unrest at Redoubt Volcano continues. Seismicity at stations closest to the volcano's summit has declined somewhat starting at about 4:00 AKT this morning, but remains well above background levels.
Nothing unusual has been seen over the past 24 hours in clear to partly cloudy satellite views. AVO conducted an overflight of the volcano yesterday afternoon, and observations confirm that an eruption has not occurred. Increased steaming through previously observed sources in the snow and ice cover were seen and sulfur gas emissions were noted. There was no significant disruption of the glacial ice, nor any apparent increased water discharge down the Drift River. A gas-measurement flight to the volcano is underway today.
The current activity at Redoubt could be precursory to an eruption, perhaps within days. A further increase in seismicity is expected to accompany an eruption. Staff are currently monitoring the volcano 24 hours a day.
Beginning at 00:58 AST (9:58 UTC) yesterday morning, nearly continuous volcanic tremor was recorded at stations near Redoubt's summit, prompting AVO to raise the Aviation Color Code to ORANGE and the Alert Level to WATCH at 02:09 AST (11:09 UTC). AVO had raised the Aviation Color Code to YELLOW and the Volcano Alert Level to ADVISORY on November 5, 2008, in response to increased emissions of volcanic gases; melting of snow and ice near the volcano

Unrest at Redoubt Volcano continues. Seismicity has waxed and waned over the past 24 hours, but remains well above background levels.
Nothing unusual has been seen over the past 24 hours in partly cloudy satellite views. AVO conducted a gas-measurement flight yesterday afternoon, and detected elevated values of SO2 venting from the volcano's summit crater. Observers also saw new outflows of muddy debris alongside the glacier that is downslope of the summit; these were not seen the previous day (Sunday, January 25).
The current activity at Redoubt could be precursory to an eruption, perhaps within days. A further increase in seismicity is expected to accompany an eruption. Staff are currently monitoring the volcano 24 hours a day.
AVO engineers have flown by helicopter to the volcano today, to repair a web camera and install an additional seismic instrument along the Drift River valley. Yesterday, AVO's Spurr web camera was redirected towards Redoubt; this can be viewed at http://www.avo.alaska.edu/activity/Redoubt.php
AVO raised the Aviation Color Code to ORANGE and the Alert Level to WATCH at 02:09 AST (11:09 UTC) the morning of Sunday, January 25, in response to a sharp increase of seismic activity beneath the volcano. AVO had raised the Aviation Color Code to YELLOW and the Volcano Alert Level to ADVISORY on November 5, 2008, in response to increased emissions of volcanic gases; melting of snow and ice near the volcano
