The rains have displayed their impressive varieties...lots of paka ua-ing, and accompanying snows on our mauna, torrential ua loku, vague mistiness of ua noe; itʻs been a busy time. And Pelehonuamea seems to enjoy working whatever the weathers, hiding behind veils of māhu, leaving us to wonder.
Thisʻll be brief. I have an engagement shortly, but wanted to share...
Below is a seismogram, a record of vibrational movements below, inside the summit of Kīlauea. Yesterday afternoon at 430ish, tremor noticeably diminished. This record is from RIMD, stationed on the south edge of Kaluapele. As pele moves through the ground, rocks crack and vibrate, and sensitive instruments detect and display that "tremor".
At 727 this morning, the KWcam shows no red. Below link will, I trust, take you to the HVO webcam page. Along with the current image, there should be a timelapse, where you can watch (quickly) the crust of loko ahi (lava lake) cooling.
Compare to the same camera Thursday afternoon...
The link above will direct you to the page below so you can look at seismograms.
Youʻll want to click on the Instruments Visible (the stacked pages), then Filter Seismometers. Zooming in on the map will allow you to hover and select the seismometer data you want to view. RIMD, at the south caldera, is a good one. Then Click for additional information. Thanks to te for guidance.
Note above that there are very few earthquakes at the summit.
All we can do is watch, wait, and see... This morning ice coats the lens of the ML cam on the rim of Mokuʻāweoweo on Maunaloa.
Hiki? Iʻm off into the weather. Go poke around the HVO site. Iʻll be back with more soon as I am able.
As always, with aloha,
