TOKYO VAAC

Early detection of volcanic eruptions is crucial for VAAC operations. Volcanic activities in Japan are monitored by four JMA Volcanic Observation and Warning Centers located in Sapporo, Sendai, Tokyo and Fukuoka. The Tokyo VAAC receives volcanic activity reports from these centers when eruptions or explosions occur in domestically volcanoes. The Tokyo VAAC also receives information on volcanic activities outside Japan from the MWOs within its area of responsibility and relevant organizations such as the Kamchatka Volcanic Eruption Response Team (KVERT), the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), the Alaska Volcano Observatory (AVO) and adjacent VAACs. Volcanic eruption reports from pilots from cruising airplanes as well as satellite imagery from the geostationary meteorological satellite and the polar-orbiting satellite are also important sources of information.
