Editing Vog (section)

==Vog in Hawaii==
In [[Hawaii]], the gas plumes of [[Kilauea|Kīlauea]] rise up from three locations: [[Halemaʻumaʻu]], [[Puʻu ʻŌʻō]], and from along the coastline where lava flows from the East [[Rift zone]] enter the ocean. The plumes create a blanket of vog that can envelop the island. Vog mostly affects the [[Kona District, Hawaii|Kona]] coast on the west side of the Island of [[Hawaii (island)|Hawaii]], where the prevailing [[trade wind]]s blow the vog to the southwest and southern winds then blow it north up the [[Kohala, Hawaii|Kohala]] coast.

Prolonged periods of southerly [[Kona storm|Kona winds]], however, can cause vog to affect the eastern side of the Island on rare occasions, and affect islands across the entire state as well.<ref name=usgs>[http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/volcanowatch/1996/96_05_29.html "Vog: A Volcanic Hazard"] on USGS web site</ref> By the time the vog reaches other islands, the sulfur dioxide has largely dissipated, leaving behind ash, smoke, sulfates, and ammonia.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.mauiweekly.com/page/content.detail/id/9344/Vog-Taints-Maui-Skies.html |title=Vog Taints Maui Skies |access-date=2009-12-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110321000537/http://www.mauiweekly.com/page/content.detail/id/9344/Vog-Taints-Maui-Skies.html |archive-date=2011-03-21 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

During the 2016 volcanic events at [[Kīlauea]], the [[Hawaiian Volcano Observatory]], in collaboration with other agencies, published a vog dashboard so community members could track the vog.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Ozawa |first=Ryan |date=2016-08-26 |title=Civil Geeks: Feeling The Vog?
