The data on the activity of Chirinkotan volcano (Chirinkotan Isl., Northen Kuriles) in 2013–2016 are given in the paper. According to satellite monitoring of the volcano, two episodes of explosive activity were recorded in 2013–2016. The first episode (from 24 May 2013 to 2 December 2015) manifested in the form of an explosive eruption of moderate power with regular thermal anomalies of different intensities and periodical ash explosions with a maximum eruptive plume length of 180 km. The second episode (29 November 2016) manifested as a single short (but strong) ash explosion (the height of the eruptive column up to ~ 8.5 km above sea level, and the area of the ash cloud 73 km2). By the example of the eruption of Chirinkotan volcano it was found that the use of the information service “Distance monitoring of the activity of the volcanoes of Kamchatka and the Kurile Islands” (VolSatView) significantly enhances determination of thermal anomalies and identification of ash emissions, which considerably improves the efficiency and quality of monitoring the volcanic activity in Kuril Islands.
Keywords: Kuril Islands, Chirinkotan volcano, explosive activity, ash, satellite data, VolSatView
