November 29, 2012 – JAPAN – Sakurajima volcano has entered once again a phase of more intense and frequent  explosions. Since mid-November, there has been one explosion every 4 to 5 hours on  average. Ash clouds rose to altitudes as high as 11,000 feet.

According to the Japan Meteorological Agency Volcanic Activity Report, the volcano reported massive explosions from November 21st to 28th. The agency reported that from November 19th to 27th, explosions from Sakurajima’s Sho-wa Crater ejected tephra as  far as 1.3 km from the crater. Very small eruptions at Minami-dake Crater occurred during the 19th to the 20th of November. Based on information from the agency, the Tokyo VAAC reported that explosions from the 21st to the 23rd, as well as from the 25th to the 27th of November often produced plumes that rose to altitudes of 5,000 to 9,000 feet above sea level and drifted north, northeast, east and southeast.

Sakurajima volcano is known for its irregular (typically 1-2 per day) strombolian to vulcanian-type explosions which sometimes can reach considerable size and eject ash and bombs to   several kilometers height and distance. This semi-persistant activity has been going on for the last seventy years, but fluctuates a lot in intensity in rhythms of typically weeks to few months.
