April 1, 2025 — View of episode 16 eruption plume at Kīlauea's summit
Detailed Description
The episode 16 eruption plume was transported north-northwest on April 1, over Highway 11 in Kaʻū. USGS Hawaiian Volcano Observatory volcanic gas specialists traversed under the plume on the highway in order to get a sulfur dioxide emission rate for episode 16. Based on six traverses, they obtained an average emission rate of 50,000 tonnes per day of sulfur dioxide, which is in line with other measurements and emission rate estimates for other recent eruption episodes at Kīlauea summit.
