The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is medium, 11 events/hour.

The amplitude of seismic tremor is medium.

The infrasonic activity is not available. The acoustic pressure of explosions is not available. The amplitude of puffing is not available

Tiltmeters analysis does not show any significant deformation of the volcano edifice

Thermal activity of explosive events is low. The number of thermal transients in the NE sector of the crater (standard = 100) is low, 30. The amplitude of thermal transients is low, 0.3 ºF. Exit velocity of pyroclasts, estimated through thermal camera analysis, is medium, 21 m/s.

MODIS thermal anomalies are low: 0.27 MW (01:12 UTC yesterday).

Rockfall activity is medium. The number of rockfalls is 7 per day.

SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is low, 56 t/d

CO2 flux based on the C/S of 8.07 mesured at 16:20 UTC on 2024/01/04 is high, 1415 t/d

Indice di Attività Vulcanica: medium

  • Seismic (VLP) rate MEDIUM
  • Seismic tremor MEDIUM
  • Puffing NOT AVAILABLE
  • Acustic pression of explosions NOT AVAILABLE
  • Thermal activity LOW
  • SO2 flux LOW
  • CO2 flux HIGH
  • Rockfall activity MEDIUM

The volcanic activity is characterized by strombolian explosions and degassing activity (puffing). Data of acoustic pressure of explosions and degassing activity of the ast 24 hours are not available. The number of VLP events shows MEDIUM values (11.0 events/hour). Thermal activity is characterized by a LOW number of transients having LOW thermal amplitude and MEDIUM exit velocity of pyroclasts. MODIS/VIIRS images showed LOW thermal anomalies (max 0.27 MW at 01:12 of 05/01/2024). SO2 flux shows LOW values (56 t/d). CO2 flux, estimated from a C/S ratio of 8.07, is HIGH (1415 t/d). Rockfall activity is MEDIUM with 7 events detected in the last 24h generating mainly LOW seismic energies. The volcanic activity index is MEDIUM. N.B.: thermal data could be underestimated due to several hours of missing data
