And he adds: “It should be noted that the tendency to decrease the amplitude of the seismic signal of high-frequency tremor prevails”.

Authorities indicate that a lava dome is not observed at Popocatépetl volcano

The National Coordination of Civil Protection of Mexico reported that the Scientific Advisory Committee of Popocatépetl, after an analysis of the videos taken by a drone that flew over the volcano, indicates that there is no presence of a lava dome, that the crater ” filled significantly by the emitted fragmented magmatic material” and that the activity during the previous three days “consisted of the emission of ash and incandescent fragments associated with the tremor recording of fluctuating duration and amplitude”.

In this sense, says the agency, “the most probable scenario in the short term is that a similar activity continues”, namely: tremors of high frequency and variable amplitude, some explosions “of minor to moderate entity”.

They also indicate that ash emissions and the ejection of incandescent fragments can be expected within the 12 kilometer exclusion radius.

The CNPC indicates that between Thursday and Friday there was a “tendency to decrease the seismic amplitude of the shock”.
