The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is low, 4 events/hour.

The amplitude of seismic tremor is high.

The infrasonic activity is medium. The acoustic pressure of explosions is low, 0.65 bar (standard values <1 bar). The amplitude of puffing is low, ~20 mbar.

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, 35. The amplitude of thermal transients is low, 0.34 ºF. Exit velocity of pyroclasts, estimated through thermal camera analysis, is medium, 21 m/s.

MODIS thermal anomalies are low: 0.11 MW (01:54 UTC yesterday).

Rockfall activity is low. The number of rockfalls is 2 per day.

SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is low, 43 t/d

CO2 flux based on the C/S of 17.49 mesured at 00:20 UTC on 2024/01/08 is medium, 849 t/d

Indice di Attività Vulcanica: medium

  • Seismic (VLP) rate LOW
  • Seismic tremor HIGH
  • Puffing LOW
  • Acustic pression of explosions LOW
  • Thermal activity LOW
  • SO2 flux LOW
  • CO2 flux MEDIUM
  • Rockfall activity LOW

The volcanic activity is characterized by strombolian explosions and degassing activity (puffing). In the last 24 house Stromboli volcano show MEDIUM degassing activity (puffing of 20 mbar medium aplitude) and MEDIUM values of acoustic pressure of explosions (max 0.65 bar). The number of VLP events shows LOW values (4.0 events/hour). Thermal activity is characterized by a LOW number of transients having LOW thermal amplitude and MEDIUM exit velocity of pyroclasts. Seismic tremor show HIGH values. MODIS/VIIRS images showed LOW thermal anomalies (max 0.11 MW on 08/01/2024 at 01:54 UTC). SO2 flux shows LOW values (43 t/d). CO2 flux, from a C/S ratio of 17.49, is MEDIUM (849 t/d). Rockfall activity is LOW with 2 events detected in the last 24h generating LOW to MEDIUM seismic energies. The volcanic activity index is MEDIUM. N.B.: thermal data, infrasonic data and VLP rate could be underestimated due to bad weather conditions and technical problems of the seismic stations.
