The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is high, 17.4 events/hour.

The amplitude of seismic tremor is medium.

The infrasonic activity is high. The acoustic pressure of explosions is low, 0.83 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, 581. The amplitude of thermal transients is low, 0.03 ºF. Exit velocity of pyroclasts, estimated through thermal camera analysis, is medium, 26 m/s.

MODIS thermal anomalies: no thermal anomalies.

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

SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is low, 62 t/d

CO2 flux based on the C/S of 36.16 mesured at 08:20 UTC on 2024/05/03 is high, 1875 t/d

The volcanic activity is generally characterized by strombolian explosions, with ash emissions, located at the C and SW crater sector, with puffing localized at the C and SW crater sectors. In the last 24h, the Stromboli volcano showed a HIGH degassing activity (puffing with values of about 50 mbar). The explosive activity is MEDIUM (max acoustic pressure 0.83 bar). The number of explosions (thermal transients) are HIGH, with a LOW thermal amplitude and MEDIUM exit velocity of pyroclasts. The volcanic tremor shows MEDIUM values. The number of VLP events showed HIGH values (17.4 events/hour). MODIS/VIIRS images showed NO thermal anomalies. SO2 flux shows LOW values (last: 62 t/d recorded on the 03/05/2024), CO2 flux decrease to HIGH (last: 1875 t/d based on C/S value of 36.16 recorded on the 15/02/2024). The rockfall activity is LOW (n.1 event detected with LOW amplitude). The volcanic activity index is HIGH.
