Okmok Status Report issued Jul 23, 2008 11:28 ADT Volcano Alert Level WATCH - Aviation Color Code ORANGE (2008-07-23)
The eruption of Okmok Volcano continues. The character of seismicity has changed in the last 12 hours from episodic, high-amplitude pulses to nearly continuous, mid-level volcanic tremor. Recent satellite data continue to show older plumes drifting away from Okmok toward the E/SE. Weather clouds have prevented unobscured views of the volcano over the last 10 hours. Stronger explosive activity could resume at any time with little or no warning.

Okmok Status Report issued Jul 22, 2008 11:23 ADT Volcano Alert Level WATCH - Aviation Color Code ORANGE (2008-07-22)
The eruption of Okmok Volcano continues. Seismicity increased overnight from around midnight to 03:00 AKDT (08:00 - 11:00 UTC), but has declined somewhat since then. Currently, seismicity consists of episodic pulses occasionally grading into continuous volcanic tremor. Recent satellite data show plumes of steam and/or ash drifting E/SE within 50 km of Okmok at between 20,000 and 30,000 feet above sea level. Stronger explosive activity could resume at any time with little or no warning.
Cleveland Status Report issued Jul 22, 2008 11:23 ADT Volcano Alert Level WATCH - Aviation Color Code ORANGE (2008-07-22)
Recent satellite data show a >50 km steam plume, possibly containing some ash, drifting E/SE at between 10,000 and 20,000 feet above sea level. Satellite data also show a strong thermal anomaly at Cleveland, which may indicate a lava flow. However, AVO has as of yet received no eyewitness reports of lava at Cleveland.
