Satellites & ash clouds

Understanding the map layers

Ash clouds & dispersion

VAAC centres publish ash-cloud locations and altitude ranges, with forecasts for 6, 12 and 18 hours. We map the structured fields from the NOAA NWS bulletin service. Each area has its own valid time. We do not calculate our own dispersion from surface winds.

NOAA distributes advisories from the nine VAAC centres. A current advisory or drawable area is not available for every volcano.

Thermal satellite data

VIIRS detects unusually strong thermal radiation. We show detections within 20 km of catalogue volcanoes with available radiative-power and confidence values. Fires and industry can also be heat sources. Clouds, resolution and satellite overpasses limit detection. Missing points do not confirm inactivity.

Aqua / MODIS · band 31 · brightness temperature in kelvin. Clouds and atmosphere affect the image; not a direct lava temperature.

Sulfur dioxide distribution

The OMPS satellite layer shows retrieved total SO₂ columns for an assumed plume altitude. The CAMS model separately shows the predicted distribution at future valid times, where available up to five days from model start. The two layers use different units. SO₂ can also come from non-volcanic sources.

Total SO₂ columns show neither an individual volcano’s daily emission rate nor directly the concentration at ground level.

Explore the map ↑

Ash advisories are checked every 15 minutes; satellite metadata and heat detections hourly. Provider acquisition and valid times matter: a new retrieval is not a new measurement.

Understanding activity

Report status

01

Eruption reported

A report describes eruptive activity during its reporting period. It is not a real-time measurement or a complete list of eruptions worldwide.

02

Elevated activity

An elevated alert may indicate volcanic unrest. It does not by itself confirm an eruption. USGS aviation colours have a separate meaning.

03

No current eruption report

No current report does not mean extinct or safe. Source coverage varies between volcanoes.

QuakeMap24 is not a warning authority. Follow the relevant authorities for local decisions.

Geographic proper names follow the source catalogue.

Explosivity

Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI)

The VEI measures how explosive an eruption was, based on the volume of ejected material and the height of the eruption column. The scale is logarithmic: from level 2 upwards, each step means roughly ten times more material.

  1. VEI 0 non-explosive Ejecta < 10⁴ m³ Column < 100 m
  2. VEI 1 gentle Ejecta ≥ 10⁴ m³ Column 0.1–1 km
  3. VEI 2 explosive Ejecta ≥ 10⁶ m³ Column 1–5 km
  4. VEI 3 severe Ejecta ≥ 10⁷ m³ Column 3–15 km
  5. VEI 4 cataclysmic Ejecta ≥ 10⁸ m³ Column 10–25 km
  6. VEI 5 paroxysmal Ejecta ≥ 1 km³ Column > 25 km
  7. VEI 6 colossal Ejecta ≥ 10 km³ Column > 25 km
  8. VEI 7 super-colossal Ejecta ≥ 100 km³ Column > 25 km
  9. VEI 8 mega-colossal Ejecta ≥ 10³ km³ Column > 25 km
