FLOWGO run, in terms of velocity of lava flowing in the master channel with distance from the vent, using the first TADR values received during the May 2015 eruption. Red-line gives simulation for the maximum-bound on TADR given by MIROVA (50 m3/s) and blue-line gives the minimum bound (15 m3/s). While the maximum-bound attains the coast (i.e., the edge of the DEM) 9.1 km from the source, the minimum bound reveals a potential run-out of 8.4 km at 15 m3/s. Model was delivered at 10:45 UT on 18 May 2015, based on TADR derived from the 10:20 UT MODIS overpass (with upper bound being based on the maximum recorded during the 19:00 UT overpass on 17 May 2015). The eruption had begun at 11:45 UT on 17 May 2015
