It was reported that continuous emissions of gas-and-ash plumes from Chaitén were observed on 13 August. Ash-Plumes rose to an altitude of 2 km a.s.l., but later that day rose to greater altitudes of 6-7 km a.s.l. The increased activity did not correspond to any significant variation in seismicity. Plumes were emitted from two areas on the E and S flanks and were different colors; the area on the E flank produced steam plumes with minor ash content and the area on the S flank emitted darker ash plumes. The plumes drifted SW and caused ashfall in Chaitén town for several hours. The ash accumulation was 1.5 cm thick.
