*********************************************************************** From: David Fee <dfee@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> *********************************************************************** Time is running out! Please consider a contribution to the following session at the upcoming 2008 AGU Fall Meeting. V26: Observations and Modeling of Volcanic Blasts and Jets Description: Explosive volcanic degassing consists of a combination of discrete blasts and more continuous jet flows, depending on the gas volume and overpressure. Well-developed turbulent jet flows can either transition with altitude into thermally buoyant plumes, or collapse to form pyroclastic flows. This type of volcanic activity is amenable to direct observation by visual, thermal, radar, infrasonic, and seismic instrumentation. Numerical and analogue models, as well as analyses of pyroclastic deposits, provide further insight into the fluid dynamics of these processes. This session integrates observations and numerical and analogue modeling of volcanic blasts and jets. We encourage contributions that show observations or models that can provide constraints on jet flow structure, mass fluxes, vent overpressures, jet dimensions and velocities, the influence of vent and crater geometry, temperature or composition of ejecta, and ballistic velocities.
