Tungurahua 17 March 14 - seismic activity report
An event happened shortly after midnight and then about 20 minutes later.
Tungurahua - 20 March 2014 - seismic activity report for the Volcano - the network was off-line since the 17th and resumed recording information for presentation today about 1100 AM
Some explosive activity started shortly after 1600 local time.
There are about 9 sunspots relatively earth facing, some are potential M class flare producers.
There are no coronal holes earth facing at this time.
Solar activity is CALM:
Geomagnetic storm activity - NONE
Prediction for storms -
Planetary K-index
Now: Kp= 0 quiet
24-hr max: Kp= 2 quiet
Geomagnetic activity, MID latitudes - 24-48 hour prediction, 5% chance
High latitudes - 24-48 hour prediction, 15% chance
Auroral activity NIL - only over the extremely north geophysical pole is showing slight activity
Overall Environmental Plot - STABLE, NO EVENTS
Tungurahua - 21 March 2014 - seismic activity report for the Volcano
0826 am local time was heralded with a spurt of activity from the volcano.
There are no earth facing coronal holes from the sun ejecting particle streams at this time.
Particle environment from the solar flux is normal (stable no events indicated)
The Tunguhura volcano - Ecuador seismic and volcanic activity - tracking with CotoPaxi during the previous nite and this morning - 22 March 14 (see the CotoPaxi thread today's report for comparison graphics)
Solar image, there are no large coronal holes earth facing.
The current particle stream activity from the sun slightly increased and is being absorbed by the earth. No major events have happened from any solar cme's last nite or today.
Tungurahua - seismic volcanic activity graphics - 23 March 2014 - STABLE, no major sustained events were noted (one blip about 1920 last nite) - today at about 1320 pm, the event registered and shown on the graphic tracked the CotoPaxi event 56 miles northwards - this tracking of both events, 1920 on the 22nd and the one at 1320 the 23 means there is a connection of the volcanic "magma river feed" tying these volcanoes together into a potential "super-volcano" system.
Earth particle bombardment, higher than in previous days, but more stable:
There are no earth facing coronal holes.
There was a C class flare (small) which was NOT pointed to the earth from sunspot AR2014, which lasted for a few hours.

Tungurahua volcano - Ecuador, seismic and volcanic report 24 March 14
The volcano is very quiet today, with very slight tracking with the events up north on the CotoPaxi volcano. It appeared that Reventador's massive purging that started about 0330 am local and continued till about 0630 relieved a lot of the magmatic pressures.
The solar particle stream hitting the earth was elevated slightly but otherwise cycling smoothly.
There are no large solar coronal holes pointing earthward, and therefore are not streaming particles that could heat up the earth's plates, facilitating eruptions. Whatever is triggering the events is unknown at this time, unless it is a delayed oscillation from the previous peaks in the previous weeks. One can review the graphics on the seismo-heliographs and see the event timing.
Chilean volcanic and seismic activity is picking up, and we may start a thread on the Chilean volcanoes.

Tunguraha - volcano Ecuador - seismic and volcanic activity report - 25 March 14
The volcano is tracking events in close synchronism with the CotoPaxi volcano 54 miles to the north.
As seen on the map below, the volcanoes are placed as shown.
there was no sustained activity, apparently Reventador further north about 110 miles away has been acting like the pressure relief valve for the magmatic river below.
Solar particle heating was slightly reduced today:
and there were no active earth facing coronal holes which would have contributed to more particle emission from the sun to the earth.
the planetary magnetic fields were considered quiet and stable
Planetary K-index
Now: Kp= 1 quiet
24-hr max: Kp= 2 quiet
Auroral activity was NIL
Tungurahua - volcano Ecuador - seismic and volcanic activity - 26 March 14
The events at G. Pichincha at about 0830 tracked with Tungurahua. The event at 0730 for Tungurahua was tracking with the event on CotoPaxi. The CotoPaxi even was substantially larger indicating the origination was closer north than south.
Solar flux activity briefly peaked during the night then dropped - there was a "glancing blow" from the CME released a few days ago which was not directly earth facing.
There are no solar coronal holes earthfacing contributing to particle absorption
Tungurahua - volcano Ecuador - seismic and volcanic activity 27 Mar 14
last nite, the volcano exhibited some activity giving residents a few boomers to listen to. Then during the daylight hours for the most part the volcano was quiet.
Solar particle activity was slightly increasing with no large spikes
There was no large coronal hole facing the earth from the sun
