Steam and ash emission from solfatara field

On 10 March at about 1200 MarkAir pilot Jerry Chisum observed ash and steam emission from a solfatara field on the SSW flank (at 56.00°N, 159.81°W). The steam dissipated within 2 km of the solfatara field, but a grayish-brown ash horizon extended about 15 km N at 1,800 m altitude. On 17, 22, and 26 March Chisum made close observations of the region and noted only normal steam emissions. No previous eruptions are known in historical time.

Deformation during 2002 - 2003 [Uplift; Observed by InSAR]

Start Date: 2002 Stop Date: 2003 Direction: Uplift Method: InSAR
Magnitude: 5.000 cm Spatial Extent: Unknown Latitude: Unknown Longitude: Unknown
Figure (see Caption)

(Left column) observed (left) and (right column) best-fit synthetic interferograms of Mount Kupreanof produced from images acquired along ERS track 358 for the following time periods: (top row) 01 October 1999?24 September 2004 and (bottom row) 20 September 2002?25 August 2006. Both sets of images show an inflation episode that occurred sometime during 25 October 2002?27 June 2003. The synthetic interferograms were produced using the corresponding best-fit Mogi source models. Each fringe (full color cycle) represents 2.83 cm of range change between the ground and the satellite. Areas lacking interferometric coherence are uncolored

Deformation during 1992 - 2010 [Subsidence; Observed by InSAR]

Start Date: 1992 Stop Date: 2010 Direction: Subsidence Method: InSAR
Magnitude: Unknown Spatial Extent: Unknown Latitude: Unknown Longitude: Unknown
Figure (see Caption)

(Top row) Averaged interferograms of Mount Kupreanof produced by stacking all coherent images from two ERS tracks and two Envisat tracks. Constituent SAR images collectively span 1992?2010, excluding October 2002?June 2003 when an episode of surface uplift occurred (Figs. 6.282 and 6.283). At other times, the surface subsided slowly as shown here. (Bottom row) Synthetic interferograms calculated from best-fit Mogi source models for the corresponding averaged interferograms above. A full cycle of colors (i.e., one interferometric fringe) represents 10 mm/year of surface displacement along the LOS. Areas lacking interferometric coherence are uncolored
