SPACE-CHILE-VOLCANO-AVIATION
The eruption at Chile’s Puyehue-Cordón Caulle Volcanic Complex sent clouds of ash high into the atmosphere, above the weather that usually breaks up such plumes. The CALIPSO satellite recorded the plume 15 kilometers (50,000 feet) above the Earth on the second day of the eruption, and the volcano continues to push ash into the atmosphere. At these high altitudes, the ash entered the jetstream and blew quickly eastward.This June 13, 2011 NASA Earth Observatory image captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Aqua satellite shows a concentrated plume that was visible more than half a world away over Australia and New Zealand. The image shows the ash plume view east over New Zealand and the South Pacific Ocean. The eruption of the Puyehue volcano, high in the Andes in southern Chile, entered a second week, spewing ash that has disrupted air travel on a scale unseen since the volcanic cloud over Iceland paralyzed Europe in 2010.
