The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA�s Terra satellite acquired this true-color image of the ash plume on November 3.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: In late October 2015, a 3,725-meter (12,224 foot) volcano on the Indonesian island of Lombok began erupting. In the days that followed, ash from Mount Rinjani blanketed towns and farmland across three Indonesian islands and shut down air traffic to a number of airports.

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA�s Terra satellite acquired this true-color image of the ash plume on November 3. Ash drifted westward from Lombok towards Bali and Java. A small segment of eastern Java�s coast is visible to the southwest of Bali. According to Indonesia�s National Disaster Management Authority (BNPB), the plume ascended 3.5 kilometers (11,500 feet) above sea level, or 1 kilometer (3,300 feet) above Barujari crater. Westward moving ash blanketed seven villages in North Lombok. By evening, Ngurah Raj International Airport in Bali had closed, stranding about 6,000 passengers.

By November 4, airports had temporarily closed on all three islands, including Selaparang airport in Mataram. No evacuation measures were in place, but people were advised to stay beyond a 3-kilometer radius of the caldera.
