VolcanoSpotting brings together operational volcano reading, map, filters, weather, travel and airspace context. This guide summarises the recommended use and offers an interactive walkthrough to understand the application step by step.
Aggregated reading of seismic activity and operational validations, with recommended cross-checking against observatories and geological services whenever more precise local sources exist.
Current conditions and forecast shown in the card are generated through Open-Meteo to support visit, observation and flight planning.
Thermal reading relies on VIIRS / FIRMS satellite detections, useful to identify hotspots, radiative power and thermal signal persistence.
SO₂ indicators and volcanic atmospheric signal rely on Sentinel-5P / Copernicus products whenever available in the technical card.
The airspace layer combines official, beta or operational references by country. Always cross-check with the relevant authority, NOTAMs and local restrictions before any flight.
General cartographic representation and map interaction rely on base cartography and visualisation libraries.
VolcanoSpotting provides an aggregated and indicative reading. Delays, errors, gaps or status changes may exist compared with operational reality. Before travelling, filming, flying or making field decisions, always verify the information against observatories, aviation authorities, official weather sources and competent local references.
