The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is high, 18.4 events/hour.
The amplitude of seismic tremor is high.
The infrasonic activity is high. The acoustic pressure of explosions is low, 0.5 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 low. The number of thermal transients in the NE sector of the crater (standard = 100) is low, 10. The amplitude of thermal transients is low, 10 ºF. Exit velocity of pyroclasts, estimated through thermal camera analysis, is low, 15 m/s.
MODIS thermal anomalies are low: 1 MW (00:24 UTC yesterday).
Rockfall activity is low. The number of rockfalls is 5 per day.
SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is low, 61 t/d
CO2 flux based on the C/S of 3.48 mesured at 08:20 UTC on 2024/07/03 is medium, 1068 t/d
Indice di Attività Vulcanica: high

The volcanic activity is characterized by Strombolian explosions and puffing located at NE and C craters sector. In the last 24h, degassing activity was HIGH (puffing 80 mbar), associated to spattering activity located at NE crater. The pressure of the explosions is MEDIUM (max acoustic pressure 0.2 bar). The number of thermal transients by thermal cameras is LOW, with LOW amplitude and LOW exit velocity. The volcanic tremor showed HIGH values. The number of VLP events shows HIGH values (18.4 events/hour). MODIS/VIIRS images showed LOW thermal anomalies. SO2 flux is LOW and CO2 flux is MEDIUM. The rockfall activity is LOW. The volcanic activity index is HIGH.
