Volcano Info (IP)

 

 

The Info Bar display for Volcano Info provides information about the live feed of the latest Volcanoes throughout the world, shown on the 'Natural > Volcanoes' map layer. The data comes from the Weekly Volcanic Activity Report: a cooperative project between the Smithsonian's Global Volcanism Program and the US Geological Survey's Volcano Hazards Program. It is updated by 2300 UTC every Wednesday, with an average of 16+ reported volcanoes. 

 

The Info Bar display shows detailed information about the volcanoes. The information is automatically divided into pages, that are then cycled automatically.

 

Clicking a volcano report will open a Pop-Out, which will provide additional layer information:

 

Volcano Name.

Volcano Position.

Volcano Time Zone.

Volcano Sunrise Local Time.

Volcano Sunset Local Time.

 

A map of Volcano Position, that is centered on the position of the Volcano, is included. You can left-click the map to re-center it, for a different point of view, or right-click the map to select a different map-projection: Azimuthal Equidistant, Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area North, Lambert Azimuthal Equal Area South, or Orthographic.

 

To learn about how sub-page scrolling is paused when a Pop-Out is opened, see the notes on the 'Pop-Out' help-page.
