The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is medium, 10.3 events/hour.

The amplitude of seismic tremor is high.

The infrasonic activity is medium. The acoustic pressure of explosions is low, 0.24 bar (standard values <1 bar). The amplitude of puffing is low, ~21 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, 400. The amplitude of thermal transients is high, 50 ºF. Exit velocity of pyroclasts, estimated through thermal camera analysis, is low, 12 m/s.

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

Rockfall activity is medium. The number of rockfalls is 12 per day.

SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is medium, 70 t/d

CO2 flux based on the C/S is not available

Indice di Attività Vulcanica: high

  • Seismic (VLP) rate MEDIUM
  • Seismic tremor HIGH
  • Puffing LOW
  • Acustic pression of explosions LOW
  • Thermal activity HIGH
  • SO2 flux MEDIUM
  • CO2 flux not available
  • Rockfall activity MEDIUM

The volcanic activity is generally characterized by few strombolian explosions with MEDIUM pressure (max 0.24 bar) and mainly located at the NE crater sector. Degassing (puffing/spattering), located at the NE crater sector, is characterized by MEDIUM pressure values (about 21 mbar). The seismic tremor is HIGH and exhibit a downward trend towards medium values. The number of VLP events is MEDIUM (10.3 events/hour). The analysis does not show any significant deformation of the volcanic edifice. The number of explosions (thermal transients) is HIGH, with a HIGH thermal amplitude and LOW exit velocity of pyroclasts. MODIS/VIIRS thermal data show LOW thermal anomalies. SO2 flux shows MEDIUM values (last: 70 t/d recorded on the 27/08/2024). CO2 was not evaluated. The rockfall activity is MEDIUM (12 events detected with LOW pseudo-volumes associated). The volcanic activity index is HIGH.
