Redoubt volcano erupts again

Amazing! Concidentally, I’ve just talked about Mt. Redoubt this morning through my radio broadcast.

Some additional Redoubt images from the late March 09 eruptions:

I forgot to mention Chaitén Volcano in Chili, still building it’s dome:

Great Blog! Always fun to read the real numbers behind things. Check out my blog: http://chicagoismynewblog.wordpress.com/

Hey Ric, no I’m not spam, just trying to spread the word about my blog: ChicagoismynewBlog! Thanks for taking a look!

Quiet Sun, Volcanism ….Just chillin baby!

As if it wasn’t cold enough in Alaska and the Canadian North this winter, have some volcanic ash to rub into your tundra.
So which chicken comes before the egg, Deep Solar Minimum or Extra Volcanoes?

Not to put the brakes on the SSN-Volcano conjecture, but how much better have we gotten at reporting volcanic activity over the previous minimums?

How much CO2 does each of these eruptions emmit? (On average), and how does this compare with human emmisions?

Re Llanfar (21:58:57) :
I’d say that our record of volcanic eruptions is even worse than that of temperature.
A volcano strutting its stuff in the depths of the Andes or the chill wastes of Alaska wouldn’t exactly make the front page of The Times back in 1800.

Adolfo,
Thanks for the links, especially the LLAIMA WEBCAM.
Next time I will wear my glasses when I’m typing.

I can’t find an e-mail address for you Anthony. So hope you read this.
But did your hear that last night Sat Apr 4th the British TV channel 4 showed the dreadful Al Gore film ” An Inconvenient Truth” after most, if not all of it, has been shown to be false.

So, with all this Volcanism, lower sunspots, Cool phase of the PDO, etc, etc, etc, for someone with a very real economic interest in the weather, does it seem like a pretty safe bet for way cooler this growing season? How’s about NA precip?
Predictions vary with location. Research indicates a La Nina (mild at present) coupled with a cool PDO is associated with dry and hot conditions in SW USA and Central Great Plains (aka dust bowl), while the Northern tier states receive “normal to less than normal” precip with cooler temps (since there is disagreement as to what is normal, relatively speaking, cooler temps shall be defined as absolute summer max highs in the low 90’s). Other data indicates Australia and China will have poor (should that be poorer) wheat crops in the near future. Canadian wheat will suffer from cool temps as in late freezes. I’ve done considerable research into “climate change” mitagation for CBOT transactions, but here’s a good primer for you:

RECONSTRUCTED TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATIONON A MILLENNIAL TIMESCALE FROM TREE-RINGS IN THE SOUTHERN COLORADO PLATEAU, U.S.A.
MATTHEW W. SALZER and KURT F. KIPFMUELLER1
Abstract. Two independent calibrated and verified climate reconstructions from ecologically contrasting tree-ring sites in the southern Colorado Plateau, U.S.A. reveal decadal-scale climatic trends during the past two millennia. Combining precisely dated annual mean-maximum temperature and October through July precipitation reconstructions yields an unparalleled record of climatic variability. The approach allows for the identification of thirty extreme wet periods and thirty-five extreme dry periods in the 1,425-year precipitation reconstruction and 30 extreme cool periods and 26 extreme warm periods in 2,262-year temperature reconstruction. In addition, the reconstructions were integrated to identify intervals when conditions were extreme in both climatic variables (cool/dry, cool/wet, warm/dry, warm/wet). Noteworthy in the reconstructions are the post-1976 warm/wet period, unprecedented in the 1,425-year record both in amplitude and duration, anomalous and prolonged late 20th century warmth, that while never exceeded, was nearly equaled in magnitude for brief intervals in the past, and substantial decadal-scale variability within the Medieval Warm
Period and Little Ice Age intervals.
Obviously, this is my favorite since I live in KS but have holdings in NE. Apparently we are entering the cool-dry period, analogous to the 1920-1930s.
Look at this summer’s weather patterns in the northern tier states but anticipate less precip. If you farm there, conditions indicate soybeans as you do not want to plant anything pre May 15 or so. However, there is a significant, unknown lag in affect, but current conditions here in ks appearto be nearing the “tipping point” :~P. As we enter deeper into the cycle, spring wheat would be recommended up north. I’m betting the farm (literally) that wheat will be a precious commodity in July 2010. But since I’m just an Agronomist and not a modeling climatologist, don’t take my word for it. Google:
climate cycles warm-wet, warm-dry cool-dry cool-wet research. Happy reading.

Gotta get that Greenhouse built-finally quit snowing in La Grande, Oregon:
here is the University Webcam.The Mountain is Mt.Emily:

There is over 100in of snow in top…

For those who were interested in the radar scan I’ve put up a better video then the first rushed attempt. There were some missing frames from the first one and I’ve worked the scans a bit for better clarity, added a bit of “hollywood” (hey, works for Al, doesn’t it?)
