Description
English: This image, acquired on 9 April 2021 at 14:11 UTC by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites, shows the ash plume emitted by La Soufriere volcano, located on the Caribbean island of St. Vincent. The La Soufriere volcano, which has been inactive for decades, entered into an explosive phase on the morning of 9 April 2021 and emitted an ash plume that reached a height of 15 km. An evacuation order was issued for all residents of the red zone (about 16,000 people) and the Rapid Mapping component of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service was activated by the EU’s Emergency Response Coordination Centre. The maps and associated geospatial information will be made available here. The Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission provides multispectral data with 21 spectral bands that enable the development of innovative global dynamic applications.
