32 Approximately 15 minutes after the start of the eruption, the column was well developed and had begun to spread laterally.
33 The Plinian eruption column was now 25 km in height; the surge cloud had rolled over the landscape and was now hanging low to the ground.
34 The Pyroclastic Surge
35 Over 600 km2 destroyed!
36 The pyroclastic surge killed most of the people, plants and animals; it was under-represented in terms of its hazard potential.
37 Over 600 km 2 of alpine to sub alpine environment was destroyed, including the soil layer in many areas.
38 Turbulent flow vs laminar flow This was the flavour of the 1970 s, thinking changed after May 18, Deposit was characterized by angular, fractured clasts and organic matter
39 BASE SURGE Synonyms Pyroclastic surge; Ground surge; Blast; Ground based surge; Surtseyan Eruption; Pyroclastic density flow Definition: Base Surge. A destructive, dilute, fast moving (30m/s) turbulent density current (flow) of particles and gas and/or liquid that is the result of an explosion. Not just semantics hydrovolcanic (phreatomagmatic) events often have little warning and travel farther and are destructive at great distances.
40 BASE SURGE Synonyms Pyroclastic surge; Ground surge; Blast; Ground based surge; Surtseyan Eruption; Pyroclastic density flow Definition: Base Surge. A destructive, dilute, fast moving (30m/s) turbulent density current (flow) of particles and gas and/or liquid that is the result of an explosion. Moore, J.G., Nakamura, K., Alcaraz, A., 1966a. The September 28-30, 1965 Eruption of Taal Volcano, Philippines. Bulletin of Volcanology 29-1: Moore, J.G., Nakamura, K., Alcaraz, A., 1966b. The 1965 Eruption of Taal Volcano. Science, New Series :
41 BASE SURGE Synonyms Density current; Density flow; Pyroclastic surge; Ground surge; Blast; Ground based surge; Surtseyan Eruption; Pyroclastic density flow Definition: Base Surge. A destructive, dilute, fast moving (30m/s) turbulent density current (flow) of particles and gas and/or liquid that is the result of an explosion. Hickson, 2013 Base surges are highly destructive and dangerous (Nakada 2000). The term has been used to describe high velocity (up to 30 m/s) flows of material emanating from explosions. The term was first used to describe the ground hugging clouds seen following underwater and underground nuclear explosions (Trinity Atomic Web Site). In photographs of nuclear explosions there is a characteristic ring-shaped cloud that moves outward close to the ground the base surge (Trinity Atomic Web Site Figure 2.97). It was first documented at the eruption of Capelinhos volcano, Azores October 10th, 1957 and then adopted by the volcanological community based on the work of James G. Moore (1966a&b) and his observations of the eruption of Taal volcano in the Philippines.
42 BASE SURGE Synonyms Density current; Density flow; Pyroclastic surge; Ground surge; Blast; Ground based surge; Surtseyan Eruption; Pyroclastic density flow Definition: Base Surge. A destructive, dilute, fast moving (30m/s) turbulent density current (flow) of particles and gas and/or liquid that is the result of an explosion. J.G. Moore, adopted the term base surge to describe phreatic to phreatomagmatic explosions and their fine grained (pulverized, broken clasts), bedded deposits. The term has become synonymous with Surtseyan eruptions which are phreatomagmatic (hydromagmatic). From these early observations, the term has been used in a number of ways making its precise definition in volcanological literature problematic. The term has also been used to describe the turbulent, dilute flow fronts visible in pyroclastic flows. Trinity Atomic Web Site Hickson, 2013
43 BASE SURGE Synonyms Pyroclastic surge; Ground surge; Blast; Ground based surge; Surtseyan Eruption; Pyroclastic density flow Definition: Base Surge. A destructive, dilute, fast moving (30m/s) turbulent density current (flow) of particles and gas and/or liquid that is the result of an explosion. Hickson, 2013 Thus the usage of the term now spans cold, wet, phreatic explosions, to moderate temperature wet phreatomagmatic (or hydromagmatic) explosions (usually now referred to as pyroclastic surges ), to the basal portions of hot dry pyroclastic flows. Work by Sulpizio et al. (2008) and others using large scale experiments shows the continuum and the useage of the term pyroclastic density current (PDC) has now become more common. In all cases (wet or dry) the explosive discharges can be extremely vigorous and will propel eruption plumes of particles and gases many kilometers into the air. The resultant surges can sculpt the landscape by being highly erosive near source, stripping and scouring underlying soils and vegetation and more distally, depositing material as pyroclastic surge (base surge) deposits.
44 From the perspective of a hazard mapper and one concerned with risk assessment, the following things need to be considered: understanding if the deposit represents a single event or multiple events is critical.
45 Are the mapped units from events that are easy to predict? Might it expand beyond the assumed boundaries of areas thought to be safe?...
46 Did the mappers identify all the deposits? Is there a clear understanding of what the deposits represents?
47 As was seen at Mt. St. Helens, the deposits left in the geological record belay the magnitude of the destructiveness of event; the erosive near-vent impact may be missed entirely in the historic record. Facies analysis continues to help unravel laminated strata associated with pyroclastic deposits where these inter-unit deposits represent a single complex event from a frequency- magnitude perspective, but careful stratigraphic analysis for phreatomagmatic base-surge events must be carried out around temperate region volcanoes.
48 Help your local emergency managers, hazard mappers and risk assessment team get it right! Thank you!
