FLIR thermal image sequence of the explosion of May 25, 2011 at 14h05 (GMT). The last image highlights the gas jet and the two bombs identified. The color scale ranges from black (25°C) to white (230°C).

 

Geophysical data (2010)

Seismic displacement and velocity

9.8 x10-6 m
2x10-4 m/s

Thermal Video

 

 

a) 15 minutes long record at ROC station. The graph shows respectively the displacement (U/D), the pressure (Pr) and the thermal amplitude (Th) of the explosion (blue box) associated to the sampled rocks. b) The zoom of the 1 minute long of recorded trace containing the explosion. tsVLP, tsi, tsth are the onset, graphically showed with red dashed lines, of the chosen signal. Teth is the time at which the signals end.
