The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is medium, 9.4 events/hour.

The amplitude of seismic tremor is high.

The infrasonic activity is medium. The acoustic pressure of explosions is low, 0.62 bar (standard values <1 bar). The amplitude of puffing is medium, ~93 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, 463. The amplitude of thermal transients is high, 81 ºF. Exit velocity of pyroclasts, estimated through thermal camera analysis, is high, 46 m/s.

MODIS thermal anomalies: no thermal anomalies.

Rockfall activity is very high. The number of rockfalls is 26 per day.

SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is medium, 87 t/d

CO2 flux based on the C/S of 8.55 mesured at 03:20 UTC on 2024/08/10 is medium, 746 t/d

Indice di Attività Vulcanica: medium

  • Seismic (VLP) rate MEDIUM
  • Seismic tremor HIGH
  • Puffing MEDIUM
  • Acustic pression of explosions LOW
  • Thermal activity HIGH
  • SO2 flux MEDIUM
  • CO2 flux MEDIUM
  • Rockfall activity VERY HIGH

The volcanic activity is generally characterized by strombolian explosions, rich in scoria with ash emissions, and degassing (puffing and spattering) both located at the NE crater sector. Spattering stopped at 00:48 UTC and, at the same time, seismic tremor decrease from HIGH values to MEDIUM values In the last 24h, the Stromboli volcano showed a HIGH degassing activity (puffing with values of about 93 mbar). The explosive activity is MEDIUM (max acoustic pressure 0.63 bar). The number of explosions (thermal transients) are HIGH, with a HIGH thermal amplitude and HIGH exit velocity of pyroclasts. The volcanic tremor shows HIGH values which are correlated with the high degassing activity. The number of VLP events showed MEDIUM values (9.4 events/hour). MODIS/VIIRS satellite data is not available. SO2 flux shows MEDIUM values (last: 87 t/d recorded on the 10/08/2024), CO2 flux shows MEDIUM values (last: 746 t/d based on C/S value of 8.55 recorded on the 10/08/2024). The rockfall activity is VERY HIGH (26 events detected with LOW pseudo-volumes associated). The volcanic activity index is MEDIUM.
