Most Recent Bulletin Report: May 1972 (CSLP 33-72)

Submarine eruption from unknown source detected acoustically

Card 1393 (19 May 1972) Submarine eruption from unknown source detected acoustically

"Seismic-type drum recordings of sound-power level at deep-ocean sound channel (SOFAR) hydrophones at Wake, Midway, and Oahu islands show a signal which I interpret to be from a shallow submarine eruption in the Kuril Islands, probably between Simushir Island and Urup Island. (The acoustic record is similar to that of the... Myojinsho eruption of 1970.) It began at 29 April 0830 UT and the major activity was over by 1930 UT although scattered events may have occurred for another day."
