Featured article: Volcanic smoke reduction in visible and thermal infrared imagery

Photographs are not always what you see. In many cases, white smoke emitting from fumaroles, commonest among active volcanic craters, makes a picture totally vague, preventing us from observing the details behind it. One conventional way around it is hand-sketching in which you can compile your observation by piecing the smoke-free fragments from moment to moment into one picture. But this can be done more objectively by computer and this paper presents a simple algorithm of digital compositing that eliminates volcanic smoke from an image sequence. Supplemental material with the ready-to-run sample scripts for visible and TIR images are also available.

Aims and scope

Earth, Planets and Space (EPS) covers scientific articles in Earth and Planetary Sciences, particularly geomagnetism, aeronomy, space science, seismology, volcanology, geodesy, and planetary science. EPS also welcomes articles in new and interdisciplinary subjects, including instrumentations. Only new and original contents will be accepted for publication. No review papers will be accepted.

Thanks to all our reviewers

A peer-reviewed journal would not survive without the generous time and insightful comments of the reviewers, whose efforts often go unrecognized. Editors and staff of Earth, Planets and Space would like to publicly acknowledge our peer reviewers.

Featured article: Pyroclastic density currents associated with the 2015 phreatomagmatic eruption of the Kuchinoerabujima volcano

Though “low-temperature pyroclastic flow” is frequently observed with phreatic eruptions, there are few descriptions of its internal environment. The low-temperature pyroclastic flow of the 2015 eruption of Kuchinoerabujima volcano, southwestern Japan, provides geophysical data, video image, and geological descriptions of the deposits. The video image indicates that the velocity of flow exceeded 42 m/s. The dieback of the vegetation and deformation of some plastic materials in the flow, with absence of carbonization of woods, suggest that the temperature in the flow was between 100 and 270 degrees Celsius. Though the estimated temperature is lower than the magmatic pyroclastic flows, the physical environment inside the flow is still fatal to human.
