Sentence examples for lava flux from inspiring English sources

Over days to weeks, lava flow mapping records the path and advance rate of lava, while over longer timescales, repeat observations of lava flux reflect changes in magma source or in conduit dimensions (e.g., Stasiuk et al. 1993) and, in silicic systems, the likelihood of dome collapse (e.g., Fink and Griffiths 1998).

However, if the temperature variation is limited to a very thin boundary layer compared with the lava flow thickness (e.g., Takagi and Huppert, 2010), the temperature variation between the hot central layer of the lava flow and the surface can be neglected, and the averaged flow flux is very close to the real lava flux.

Satellite retrievals of topography, such as those presented here, have the potential to provide independent corroboration of time-averaged lava volume fluxes that rely on data from infrequent overflights or potentially dangerous ground observations.

Measured ranges were consistent with parameters (vesicularity: 49%; melt density: 2.80 × 103 kg m−3) selected for conversion of SO2 fluxes in lava output rates.

Sulfur dioxide flux during the lava accumulation stage was very high initially and was not subsequently correlated with the lava effusion rate.

For flux variation during the lava accumulation stage, OMI data were used to support the estimation.

The SO2 flux rapidly decreased after the lava effusion and reached less than 1,000 t/d in March.

On 28 January when lava was found inside the crater, the flux was more than 40,000 tons/day (Mori et al., 2011).

This approach relies on the observed relationship between lava discharge rate, lava flow area and thermal flux (e.g. Pieri and Baloga 1986; Wright et al. 2001; Harris and Baloga 2009, Garel et al. 2012).

Especially valuable are the measured surface areas if the lava lakes as these control thermal emissions and gas fluxes from the volcano.

The flux was more than 10,000 ton/day during the sub-Plinian and lava accumulation stages.
