Detailed Description

Electronic Tilt at Kīlauea summit - Since December 2024. The different colored lines show tilt in a specific direction at a specific station (see the legend in upper left corner of each plot). Station UWD is located near Uēkahuna, on the western rim of Kīlauea's summit caldera. These data are recorded by continuously operating electronic tiltmeter. Positive changes often indicate inflation of the magma storage areas beneath the caldera of Kīlauea, but may also result from heavy rainfall or, occasionally, instrumental malfunctions.
