AVHRR Split Window Signal from Katatochi Eruption in August 2008

This is an AVHRR image of the ash cloud from the August 7, 2008 eruption of Kasatochi volcano, Alaska. There were three explosive events that sent ash up to 15 km above sea level. The developing ash cloud from August 8 - 11 2008, traversed across the North Pacific.

Satellite remote sensing data for the North Pacific can be viewed through the Alaska Volcano Observatories tools, http://avo-animate.images.alaska.edu/ftp_browser.php. Here, you can view real time data, once you have chosen you area of interest.

The link below will illustrate this for real time AVHRR data across the Aleutians,
