Plus an ash hurricane develops at the top of the moving flow, not at the base. The upper portion of the block and ash flow ie Martinique developed such a 'surge' probably due to the amount of volatiles thereby allowing elutriation of the fines from the main protion of the flow that was confined to Riviere Blanche.
Cheers Craig. Pinatubo to blow, I recall asking one of the volcanologists studying the volcano about Nuee Ardente.
Survivor of Pinatubo I know my death will be much nicer right. It is a flow, but not a pyroclastic one. Better defined as a volcaniclastic debris flow made up of pyroclastic material, such that it is water supported rather than gas supported. Horneday check spelling near Yellowstone.
It was produce by a lahar. My understanding is that "nuee ardente" means "glowing cloud" in French, and that "ignimbrite" means "glowing cloud deposit" in possibly-fractured Greek. And the resulting deposit, if one is preserved, is a layer of normally-graded fine-grained tuff at the the top of the ignimbrite.
Not all pyroclastic flows are the turbid currents that produce ignimbrites. The example I used was a hot block and ash flow, which is basically a glowing landslide. They're often very difficult to tell from lahars in the field. A third type of pyroclastic flow is called a base surge, the result of a large explosion.
High winds from the explosion produce variably-sorted deposits with bedding indicative of an upper flow regime depositional environment. You are correct in that nuee ardente is 'glowing cloud' French as described from further eruptions of Mt. Pelee Martinique by Lacroix in The difference here is that a block and ash flow is emplaced hot whereas a lahar is deposited 'cold' compared to a pyroclastic flow that is - it may have temperatures in the to degree range.
Field evidence for hot emplacement would been welding and columnar jointing. Gas segregation pipes also provide evidence of a pyroclastic origin since they are gas supported as opposed to a water-supported lahar.
Three types of pyroclastic flows: 1 block and ash 2 scoria 3 pumice A surge is just that a surge. A flow is in the laminar flow regime while a surge is turbulent. You are probably confusing the three ways pyroclastic are deposited: 1 surge 2 flow 3 fall cheers. Which are not always present. I can give you some examples of block and ash flows that could be identified as such only through paleomagnetic methods. Hot block and ash flow deposits are clast supported, by definition.
