The Eyjafjallajökull Effect

Recommended Posts

Probably more a nuisance to air travel but the volcanic eruption of sulphur dioxide is considered a relatively minor event compared to past volcanic activity. Must be some beautiful sunrise\ sunsets in Europe!

Look at this

picture over airtraffic in Europe for today friday.

Normally there's 28000 airplanes in the air during one day. Today it has been 12000. Quite a differance. Heathrow, Charles de Gaulle, Frankfurt among other airports have been closed down. In Sweden you can't rent a car, traintickets are hard to come by and busses... People are using "blocket" (equivalent to E-bay) to get home saying "I'll pay for gas as long as you drive me home"

It´s a bit crazy actually, and quite frightening that we are so vulnerable when nature is showing it self.

Airports are closed here and in much more country today and looks like they will be flying again tomorrow morning again. It looks like the weather systems going to change a bit and because of that the new ash would be transported more north (Scandinavien) and not to here anymore. Otherwise there was a discussion about the effect on the climate maybe, but that's is not happening. It's a big one, but defitnely not big enough to have effect on our climate over here. In fact I haven't see anything different today compared to other days and also the smell was just normal.

Here is a picture of a new eruption earlier this evening, with it looks like the ash would be for more northern area's. If it would get more eruptions the new clouds of dust and ash have to be count again for with area's that would be. Don't worry about it really, I like the cards what I saw that we going to see much more nice spring weather over here the next few days :)

Sunsets like this? Pictures made by several people from a dutch weather forum, so they are not mine but still beautifull.

I heard it can cause cold summer in the northern hemisphere because of the ash?? It might not be a long term effect.

If so, it would certainly affect the food production as the southern hemisphere is going into winter. This will be interesting to see...

My husband & I were discussing the effect the eruption may have on weather. If it makes next winter worse than 09/10 I may have to commit myself. I think no one knows what all this ash may do to future weather. But I seem to remember that when Mt. Pinatubo in the Philippines blew up in 1991, weather in some places was affected. But Mt. P is located near the equator, not the North Pole. Not sure if that makes a difference.

Hopefully this eruption will not reach Pinatubo levels. And according to the article, Eyjafjallajokull is much weaker.

Like I said, it's not going to change or effect our climate/weather so far over here because it's not big enough and we don't have seen to many ash over here. Also the last eruptions and the ash from that are not turning into Holland but way much north.

Quite strange to think that's it's great weather here at the moment with lovely sunshine and blue skies and not to far there is an active vulcano. :blink:

Here is a picture from an earlier eruption, it's a nice picture if you ask me.

I spent the day yesterday with a few customers of mine from Holland. They are booked to go back home on Wednesdy night. But, they are concerned that due to the mess with the airlines they may not make it. Now if the Laki volcano goes off in conjunction with this one it would create an incredible mess. The Laki volcano has created major impacts in Europe several times in human history. The last one may have helped provoke conditions for the french revolution. And, the Mississipi froze as far south as New Orleans. Now that would really wreck havoc on American palm growers.

Laki volcano

Consequences in North America

In North America, the winter of 1784 was the longest and one of the coldest on record. It was the longest period of below-zero temperatures in New England, the largest accumulation of snow in New Jersey, and the longest freezing over of the Chesapeake Bay. There was ice skating in Charleston Harbor, a huge snowstorm hit the south, the Mississippi River froze at New Orleans, and there was ice in the Gulf of Mexico.[12][13]

Yeah, it may be an entirely different story if Laki gets involved! :wacko:

Ari,

I read that it could happen and apparently has in the past. I guess nothing is impossible. I hope that it does not though as the consequences would be very bad.

Ari, This article popped up from a link to the NY Times this morning. From what it says there is a direct link with the Katla volcano.

I'm sure when they named that place in the Icelandic language they just mashed their keyboard and said "that will do". How is it pronounced?

I hope this thing doesn't mess up the worlds climate. It's weird enough as it is.

They seem to dance around the issue, by mentioning all the smaller volcanos, but if Mt Hekla (the biggest of them all in Iceland) goes off then no planes will be flying for 6 months and of course the climate will be affected. With so many big earthquakes happening all over the place, there is something strange going on with the geological patterns. Here south of the equator, I think we only have to worry about Krakatoa joining into the party. Then it would be a case of Guo hjalpa okkur. (a little phrase I picked from my Icelandic cousins)

Does it mean "lets have a big party and drink Vodka until we can't see anymore"?????

Beer and Schnapps mainly dear, Icelanders are nordic not slavic. (a bit of laplander eskimos thrown in) It means Gawd help us all. I do know a few other salient phrases but I can't spell them.
