The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is medium, 10.5 events/hour.
The amplitude of seismic tremor is medium.
The infrasonic activity is medium. The acoustic pressure of explosions is low, 0.15 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 medium. The number of thermal transients in the NE sector of the crater (standard = 100) is low, 30. 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: no thermal anomalies.

The volcanic activity is characterized by strombolian explosions located at NE crater and degassing activity (puffing) located at SW sector. In the last 24h Stromboli volcano shows explosive activity with general MEDIUM acoustic pressure (max 0.15 bar) and MEDIUM degassing activity (puffing 40 mbar). The number of VLP events shows MEDIUM values (10.5 events/hour). Thermal activity is characterized by LOW number of transients having LOW thermal amplitude and MEDIUM exit velocity of pyroclasts. The volcanic tremor is MEDIUM. MODIS/VIIRS images show no new thermal anomalies. SO2 flux is LOW (52 t/d). CO2 flux, based on a C/S ratio of 8.38 measured on 29/03/2024 at 02.20 UTC, is MEDIUM (439 t/d). No rockfall activity events have been detected in the last 24h. The volcanic activity index is MEDIUM.
