Tremor signals increased on all islands since February 26 . Here  today`s plot of Teneriffe

Thursday- February 27- 2014


The situation could indeed become serious now: Two new  and likely magmatic quakes occured on February 27- 2014- , but  not below  El Hierro but again on resp near the aneighbored islands: IGN claimed,  the depth of both quakes could not be evaluated yet. That is rather suspicious to be part of the desinformation strategy , as it would be  the first time , they can`t  give any informations about the depth of an earthquakes there. I suppose at least the one near Teide was  rather shallow, ( what might be an serious  indicator,  that a surface eruption on Mt Teide  might be imminent!!) Might be, that the Spanish geologists just can`t believe it : I will follow the informations and keep you updated!

The first is of course very suspicious for an surface eruption: its just some Northeast of the Teide massive:



the second was near the eastern islands of Fuerteventura and Lanzerote:




Tuesday-  February 25 2014:


quakes of the Canaries become more frequent again.  Here we have again one minor quake with M 2.0  from 20 km depth

but this time on a new location near the Island of Fuerteventura:

Other related news: The  active solar region 11990 has produced an X 1.2 flare today that was associated to a minor proton storm ( SEP)
as the following image by NASA D- RAP shows, these protons impact along the magnetic field lines directly through  the Southern pole into the Earth core, where their high accaleration is transformed into heat  (This is what leads regularly  then the increase of hot spots activities especially on the longitudes where the proton impact was strongest) 




. Much of these protons went down over the Atlantic alonmg the 30° E - 60° W  longitudes and might amplify  volcanic magmatic/  seismic activity there ab bit over the next days.. Active region those produce ARs mostly produce more than one SEP .Thus- hot spot activities are likely i ti increase over the next time

Get a daily update in that on my solar terrestrial blog on my homepage.

seismicity began to increase over the day. Here the plot of Teneriffe:

Tremor signals are down on all islands and remain relatively highest on Gran Canaria and the eastern islands

MODVOLC:

MODVOLC hot spot survey shows now changes; heat signatures  remained unchanged since January 12 on all islands:

Friday-  February 21 2014:

update (2):
Another quake today: the second one below  the Western part of El Hierro:

The weak quake was again located between the islands of Teneriffe and Gran Canaria, where those quake happen regularly  due to a geological fault between both islands, as spanish geologists say. But there is also a seamount in observation that might be or become a submarine volcano: (more about that in previous posts)




Tuesday-  February 18 2014:

Where the strong seimic tremor signals on February 16 caused by high waves hitting the islands?
Today`s values however look  much better:

< La Gomera/ 20140218

harmonic tremors is still relatively strongest on Gran Canaria, while Teneriffe draws again those weird and confused data plots it did during  December  and most of January. ( are the distortions caused by any electrical influence?)

Monday-  February 17 2014:

2. update: two more quakes- one again on the Western coast of El Hierro. The other near to Puerto de la Cruz , Northern Teneriffe

CURRENT GLOBAL TEMPERATURE ANOMALIES:

Some of the experts say the strong tremors are caused by the storms high waves those hit the islands in this winter, others say waves can`t cause such strong tremors.  The climate change on the island however is another and new experience on the canaries and is currently caused by temperature anomalies around the poles, those again are caused by solar SEPs (protons storms). ( find more about that in mysolar and terrestrial blog.)
As warmer temperatures become in the Arctic region, as  lower is  the temperature difference between the Arctic and the Equator regions and as  weaker also will be the Gulf current., that  usually  transport the heat from the Equator to the North,. If the sea currents become slower  by such an anomaly, this temperature exchange  more and more has to happen through the atmosphere, what creates fierce winds and weather fronts, while the jet stream shifts towards the North.
This relationship however meanwhile is something,  also the official experts seem to have understood and do confirm:

(BBC/ 20140216/ Wavier jet stream 'may drive weather shift'

TREMORS:

Tremors increased  further on  all islands during  February 16,  decreased  again a bit on February 17 and seems currently to be relatively strongest on La Gomera and the Eastern islands.

Über diesen Blog/ about this blog:

Ich habe beschlossen den Blog, bzw. zumindest die aktuellen Berichte  in englischer Sprache fortzuführen. Mit Englisch lässt sich das alles einfacher kürzer und genauer ausdrücken. Deutsch ist besser zu verwenden für Dichtkunst oder um Geschichten zu erzählen,. Außerdem kann der Blog dann von mehr Menschen gelesen werden. Natürlich können Kommentare weiter in deutsch  oder anderen Sprachen verfasst  werden

This blog does not intend to give scientific advice or analysis. Its just wants to document the ongoing volcanic activity and the real events how they envolve, what might serve also as a basic for own conclusions.
Recently I decided to continue this blog - at least the activity updates and report- generally in English  language. My English might not be perfect, but at least better than  an automatic translator.Its easier to express anything in English than in German and it makes the blog easier understandable for international users. Special stories might be written in German. Comments can be posted in all languages, I recommend to use English, so comments are understandable for the most international visitors
----
some remarks about this blog:

Generally  also want to refer in this blog also  to other interesting aspects of the Canaries, many people might not know yet. But- currently  I want to document here the new and unexpected volcanic activity that began in 2011 , that has for itself many aspects, worth to review and tell about
