The volcanic activity is generally characterized by strombolian explosions and puffing located at NE crater sector. In the last 24h, the Stromboli volcano showed a MEDIUM degassing activity (puffing with values of about 50 mbar). The pressure of the explosions is MEDIUM (max acoustic pressure 1.07 bar). The number of thermal transients is HIGH, with LOW thermal amplitudes and LOW pyroclast exit velocities. The volcanic tremor shows HIGH values. The number of VLP events showed HIGH values (14.6 events/hour). MODIS/VIIRS images showed LOW thermal anomalies (max 1 MW). The SO2 flux measured at the NE crater sector is MEDIUM (89 t/d). The CO2 flux, based on the C/S ratio of 31.03 (measured on 22/05/2024 at 22.20 UTC) is HIGH (2903 t/d). The rockfall activity is MEDIUM (1 events with HIGH pseudo-volumes associated).The volcanic activity index is HIGH.
