The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is medium, 9.8 events/hour.

The amplitude of seismic tremor is medium.

The infrasonic activity is medium. The acoustic pressure of explosions is low, 0.8 bar (standard values <1 bar). The amplitude of puffing is low, ~40 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, 31. The amplitude of thermal transients is low, 10 ºF. Exit velocity of pyroclasts, estimated through thermal camera analysis, is medium, 23 m/s.

MODIS thermal anomalies are low: 0.66 MW (01:00 UTC yesterday).

Rockfall activity: no rockfalls detected.

SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is low, 39 t/d

CO2 flux based on the C/S of 27.18 mesured at 10:20 UTC on 2024/01/19 is medium, 927 t/d
