Abstract
On March 24, 2017 Kambalniy Volcano started to erupt after a 500-year-long period of rest. The eruption continued till April 10, 2017. The paper provides the analysis of atmospheric wave disturbances as wavetrains of quasi-sinusoidal oscillations with a frequency of 8 Hz (acoustic tremor or AT), which occurred at certain moments during the eruption. Besides, the paper describes 3 strongest seismic signals registered at the initial stages of the eruptions simultaneously with AT, which was registered using an infrasound station IS44 installed 208 km NW far from the volcano. The nearest Pauzhetka seismic station installed 19 far from the volcano allowed monitoring the seismic build-up, which was short (2 days) and weak (Кmax = 8.6). Lack of definite discrete infrasound signals, which are usually caused by non-stationary process during explosive eruptions, gives evidence for peculiar pattern of formation and effusion of ash-and-gas emissions. Such uncommon acoustic radiations and seismic build-up prove the presumption that this eruption should be classified as a hydrothermal event.
