Aug 3 1996, 10:00 am - Ruapehu Volcano

Science Alert Bulletin RUA-1996/59 - Update

Tremor levels at Dome have been low for much of yesterday, but slightly elevated overnight between about 01:00 and 06:00, suggesting some minor ash emissions may have occurred. Continuing bad weather this morning has prevented visual observations of the volcano.

The COSPEC gas flight originally planned for August 1 still has not occurred due to the poor weather conditions.

The Alert Level remains at 3.
