Over the past few days, a number of high-level stratospheric eruptions have taken place at Shiveluch –Russia’s largest and most active volcano– culminating in April 11th’s pop to 36,000 ft (11 km).
The Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Anchorage warned of an ash plume rising to estimated 36,000 ft (11 km), and drifting in a NW direction, according to volcanodiscovery.com.
Particulates ejected to altitudes above 32,800 ft (10 km) –and into the stratosphere– often linger, where they have a direct cooling effect on the planet.
Volcanic eruptions are one of the key forcings driving Earth into its next bout of global cooling, with their activity tied to low solar activity and the resulting influx of Cosmic Rays (more on that below).
Activity worldwide has been on the uptick, with Anak Krakatau’s pop to 47,000 ft being the biggy of the past few days:
SHIVELUCH
Stratovolcano: 3283 m / 10,771 ft
Kamchatka, Russia: 56.65°N / 161.36°E
Current status: ERUPTING (4 out of 5)
Shiveluch volcano is highly explosive and has a recent eruptive history littered with VEI 4s and 5s. It’s known for large pyroclastic flows, and as one of Kamchatka’s largest and most active volcanoes.
