The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is high, 12.5 events/hour.
The amplitude of seismic tremor is medium.
The infrasonic activity is medium. The acoustic pressure of explosions is low, 0.22 bar (standard values <1 bar). The amplitude of puffing is medium, ~50 mbar.
Tiltmeters analysis does not show any significant deformation of the volcano edifice
Thermal activity of explosive events is medium. The number of thermal transients in the NE sector of the crater (standard = 100) is high, 164. The amplitude of thermal transients is low, 1 ºF. Exit velocity of pyroclasts, estimated through thermal camera analysis, is low, 16 m/s.
MODIS thermal anomalies are low: 7 MW (01:30 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 medium, 73 t/d
CO2 flux based on the C/S of 6.91 mesured at 04:20 UTC on 2024/02/07 is medium, 506 t/d

The volcanic activity is characterized by strombolian explosions and degassing activity (puffing) mainly located at the SW and NE crater sectors. The number of VLP events shows HIGH values (12.5 events/hour). Infrasonic activity is characterized by explosions of MEDIUM pressure and puffing of HIGH amplitude. Seismic tremor values are MEDIUM. Thermal activity at the craters is characterized by a HIGH number of transients having LOW thermal amplitude and LOW exit velocity of pyroclasts. MODIS/VIIRS images show LOW thermal anomalies. SO2 flux shows MEDIUM values. CO2 flux, based on a C/S ratio of 6.91, show MEDIUM values (506 t/d), measured on 07/02 at 04:20 UTC. Rockfall activity is LOW with 2 events detected in the last 24h. The volcanic activity index is MEDIUM.
