The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is high, 14.7 events/hour.

The amplitude of seismic tremor is high.

The infrasonic activity is medium. The acoustic pressure of explosions is low, 0.3 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 high, 964. The amplitude of thermal transients is low, 5 ºF. Exit velocity of pyroclasts, estimated through thermal camera analysis, is medium, 20 m/s.

MODIS thermal anomalies are low: 4 MW (00:54 UTC yesterday).

Rockfall activity is low. The number of rockfalls is 1 per day.

SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is medium, 78 t/d

CO2 flux based on the C/S is not available

Indice di Attività Vulcanica: medium

  • Seismic (VLP) rate HIGH

  • CO2 flux not available
  • Rockfall activity LOW

The volcanic activity is characterized by strombolian explosions and degassing activity (puffing) located at the SW and NE crater sectors. In the last 24 hrs, explosive activity shows MEDIUM acoustic pressure (max 0.3 bar) and MEDIUM degassing activity (puffing 40 mbar). The number of VLP events is HIGH (14.7 events/hour). Thermal activity was characterized by a HIGH number of thermal transients with LOW amplitudes and MEDIUM exit velocities. The volcanic tremor show oscillation towards HIGH level. MODIS/VIIRS images show LOW thermal anomalies. SO2 flux in the last 24h is MEDIUM (78 t/d), with a slight increasing trend revealed by the early measures of today (up to 135 T/d). No new measurements for CO2 flux were available. Rockfall activity is LOW, with 1 event detected. The volcanic activity index is MEDIUM.
