Physical Characterization of Long‐Lasting Hybrid Eruptions: The 2021 Tajogaite Eruption of Cumbre Vieja (La Palma, Canary Islands)

Abstract: Volcanic eruptions are commonly subdivided into effusive and explosive activity depending on conduit dynamics that can either result in the outflow of lava when the degassed magma reaches the surface (effusive eruptions), or in the fragmentation of magma at various depths (dry explosive eruptions, from Hawaiian to Ultra-Plinian, and wet explosive eruptions from Surtseyan to phreato-Plinian in the classification of Walker ( 1980)). Nonetheless, some

“…The eruption opened a series of successive vents (six major craters) as it progressed along a >550-m northwest-southeast alignment, ultimately building up a sizable cinder cone (300 m high) and an extensive lava flow field. Throughout the three-month eruption, the intensity of the explosive activity was highly variable, reflected by the variation in seismic intensities and an eruptive column height that was typically around 3500 m above sea level (asl) but reaching up to 8500 m ( 21 ). Plume height together with emitted pyroclastic volume (~45 million m 3 ) defines the event as a volcanic explosivity index (VEI) 3, with a total volume (pyroclastic deposits and lava) of >200 million m 3 ( Fig.…”

“…Bonadonna et al. (2022) report maximum MER values of 1.0 ± 0.023 and 0.6 ± 0.16 × 10 4 kg/s for the cone and the tephra blanket in our observational time windows, respectively. UAV‐based surveys indicate that in the days from the beginning of the eruption until 25 September the cone complex formed at a rate of ∼2.41 × 10 6 m 3 /day (Civico et al., 2022a; Romero et al., 2022), which, assuming a pyroclasts density of 1,000 kg/m 3 , corresponds to 2.8 × 10 4 kg/s.…”

“…Mass eruption rate values from Romero et al ( 2022) range 3-18 × 10 3 kg/s before 25 September and ∼1.4 × 10 3 kg/s afterward, suggesting that at the beginning of the eruption the magma flux was higher than in the following weeks and months, in agreement with our observations that fountaining and comparatively high mass flux dominated during our September field campaign, while jetting and lower flux dominated in November. Bonadonna et al (2022) report maximum MER values of 1.0 ± 0.023 and 0.6 ± 0.16 × 10 4 kg/s for the cone and the tephra blanket in our observational time windows, respectively.
