Abstract:
The powerful explosive eruptions with large volumes of volcanic ash pose a great danger to the population and jet aircraft. Global experience in monitoring volcanoes and observing changes in the parameters of their thermal anomalies is successfully used to analyze the activity of volcanoes and predict their danger to the population. The Kamchatka Peninsula in Russia, with its 30 active volcanoes, is one of the most volcanically active regions in the world. The article considers the thermal activity in 2015–2022 of the Klyuchevskoy, Sheveluch, Bezymianny, and Karymsky volcanoes, whose rock composition varies from basaltic andesite to dacite. This study is based on the analysis of the Value of Temperature Difference between the thermal Anomaly and the Background (the VTDAB), obtained by manual processing of the AVHRR, MODIS, VIIRS, and MSU-MR satellite data in the VolSatView information system. Based on the VTDAB data, the following “background activity of the volcanoes” was determined: 20 °C for Sheveluch and Bezymianny, 12 °C for Klyuchevskoy, and 13–15 °C for Karymsky. This study showed that the highest temperature of the thermal anomaly corresponds to the juvenile magmatic material that arrived on the earth’s surface. The highest VTDAB is different for each volcano; it depends on the composition of the eruptive products produced by the volcano and on the character of an eruption. A joint analysis of the dynamics of the eruption of each volcano and changes in its thermal activity made it possible to determine the range of the VTDAB for different phases of a volcanic eruption.Keywords:

both volcanoes, illuminating a variety of volcanic and tectonic features. The velocity structures of the two volcanoes are exemplified by the presence of narrow high-Vp features in the near surface, indicating likely current or remnant pathways of magma to the surface. A single broad low-Vp region beneath each volcano is slightly offset from each summit and centered at approximately 7 km depth, indicating a potential magma chamber, where magma is stored over longer time periods. Differing recovery capabilities of the Vp and Vs datasets indicate that the results of these types of joint inversions must be interpreted carefully.

The long‐lived 222 Rn decay products 210 Pb, 210 Bi and 210 Po have been monitored in the plumes of several vents at Mount Etna (Sicily) from May to October 1986. The results show that the four main craters of this volcano emit gases whose compositions are different from each other. The 210 Bi/ 210 Pb ratios for the plumes have similar mean values, (close to 25), which correspond to a degassing time of 1.5 to 2.7 days, according to the model of Lambert et al. (1985/86). In contrast, 210 Po/ 210 Pb ratios have very different mean values in each plume: 35 at the Voragine crater, 20 at the Bocca Nuova crater, and 14 at the South East crater. These figures enable us to calculate proportions of deep magma of 50%, 29% and 19% in the degassing cells of these craters respectively. Moreover, the SE crater appears to be a secondary degassing vent, not directly related to the main magma reservoir. The evolution of these ratios has been related to variations in volcanic activity.
