Self potential signals preceding variations of fumarole activity at Merapi volcano , Central Java

چکیده
This paper analyzes simultaneous self-potential and gas temperature variations recorded at Merapi volcano in spring 2001, the dry season shortly after the volcanic crisis 2001. Temporal variations of fumarole gas temperature show characteristic quasi periodic signals at scales 1-8 hours and amplitudes up to ten degrees. We propose a simple graphical technique combining a wavelet scalogram and a cross-correlation analysis to demonstrate that the variations of gas temperature are systematically preceded by self-potential variations at the same scales. The influence of meteorological variations on these correlated signals can be ruled out. Rather, we suggest them to be related to the magma degassing in the upper conduits of the volcano. We discuss a semi-qualitative model to explain this correlation and the observed phase shift of about two hours.

Numerical analysis has performed in order to assess the geothermal potential of Ungaran volcano using a 3-D finite difference simulator HYDROTHERM Ver2.2. A conceptual model constructed based on the results of geophysical studies such as gravity, spontaneous-potential, microearthquake, infrared imagery and shallow ground temperature. De...
متن کاملDetailed Mapping of Pyroclastic Flow Deposits by SAR Data Processing for an Active Volcano in the Torrid Zone
Field mapping activity for an active volcano mainly in the Torrid Zone is usually hampered by several problems such as steep terrain and bad atmosphere conditions. In this paper we present a simple solution for such problem by a combination Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) and geostatistical methods. By this combination, we could reduce the speckle effect from the SAR data and then estimate rough...

S U M M A R Y Modern acquisition of seismic data on receiver networks worldwide produces an increasing amount of continuous wavefield recordings. In addition to manual data inspection, seismogram interpretation requires therefore new processing utilities for event detection, signal classification and data visualization. The use of machine learning techniques automatises decision processes and r...
