The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is high, 19.3 events/hour.

The amplitude of seismic tremor is high.

The infrasonic activity is high. The acoustic pressure of explosions is low, 0.86 bar (standard values <1 bar). The amplitude of puffing is medium, ~80 mbar.

Tiltmeters analysis does not show any significant deformation of the volcano edifice

Thermal activity of explosive events is high. The number of thermal transients in the NE sector of the crater (standard = 100) is high, 545. The amplitude of thermal transients is low, 0.5 ºF. Exit velocity of pyroclasts, estimated through thermal camera analysis, is high, 78 m/s.

MODIS thermal anomalies are low: 1 MW (01:06 UTC yesterday).

Rockfall activity: no rockfalls detected.

SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is medium, 130 t/d

CO2 flux based on the C/S is not available

Indice di Attività Vulcanica: high

  • Seismic (VLP) rate HIGH

  • SO2 flux MEDIUM
  • CO2 flux not available
  • Rockfall activity LOW

The volcanic activity is generally characterized by strombolian explosions, with ash emissions, located at the NE crater sector, with puffing localized at the NE and C crater sectors. In the last 24h, the Stromboli volcano showed a HIGH degassing activity (puffing with values of about 80 mbar). The explosive activity is MEDIUM (max acoustic pressure 0.86 bar). The number of explosions (thermal transients) are HIGH, with a LOW thermal amplitude and HIGH exit velocity of pyroclasts. The volcanic tremor shows HIGH values. The number of VLP events showed HIGH values (19.3 events/hour). MODIS/VIIRS images showed LOW thermal anomalies (max 1 MW). SO2 flux shows MEDIUM values (last: 130 t/d recorded on the 07/05/2024), CO2 flux shows NO DATA (last: 493 t/d based on C/S value of 7.97 recorded on the 05/05/2024). The rockfall activity is LOW (Zero events detected). The volcanic activity index is HIGH.
