Annual Kamchatkan strong explosive eruptions with ash emissions of 8-15 km above the sea level represent a real threat to modern jet aviation. To reduce the risk of aircraft encounters with volcanic ash clouds in the North Pacific region, the KVERT team of the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of Far Eastern Branch RAS (IVS FEB RAS) conducts daily satellite monitoring of Kamchatkan volcanoes/ In 2011, experts of IVS FEB RAS, Space Reseach Institute RAS, Computing Center of Far Eastern Branch RAS and Far Eastern Ctnter of "Planeta" Research Center for Spase Hydrometeorology created and put into trial operation an information service "Monitoring of volcanic activity of Kamchatka and Kurile Islands" (VolSatView). This service allows working with different satellite data, including hyperspectral data, as well as meteorological and ground information. VolSatView will be able to provide volcanologists with the possibility of continuous monitoring and study of volcanic activity in Kamchatka and the Kurile Islands. The paper presents examples of hyperspectral satellite data use in the VolSatView environment to analyze different volcanic processes.
