Mount Redoubt remains an active belching volcano in Alaska with a host of remote sensing satellites capturing numerous images and data about the ongoing enviromental impact throughout the region and around the globe [video]. The material ejected from the volcano mainly consisted of water vapor, along with smaller amounts of carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. Ash imagery has been collected as well.
The Mt. Redoubt volcano (first post) has erupted no fewer than 19 times since March 22nd, and several of the larger blasts have hurled plumes of ash and gas into the lower stratosphere. The GOME-2 (Global Ozone Monitoring Experiment) sensor onboard Europe's MetOp-A satellite has been tracking Redoubt's sulfur dioxide clouds, colored red in this 5-day animation, according to SpaceWeather.com.
