Abstract

Five Vulcanian explosions were triggered by collapse of the Soufriere Hills Volcano lava dome in 2003. We report strainmeter data for three explosions, characterized by four stages: a short transition between the onset of disturbance and a pronounced change in strain; a quasi-linear ramp accounting for the majority of strain change; a more gradual continued decline of strain to a minimum value; and a strain recovery phase lasting hours. Remarkable similar to 800 s barometric gravity waves propagated at similar to 30 m s(-1). Eruption volumes estimated from plume height and strain data are 0.32-0.42 x 10(6), 0.26-0.49 x 10(6), and 0.81-0.84 x 10(6) m(3), for Explosions 3-5 respectively, consistent with quasi-cylindrical conduit drawdown
