The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is medium, 8.4 events/hour.

The amplitude of seismic tremor is high.

The infrasonic activity is high. The acoustic pressure of explosions is medium, 1.33 bar (standard values <1 bar). The amplitude of puffing is medium, ~82.2 mbar.

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

Thermal activity of explosive events is not available. The number of thermal transients in the NE sector of the crater(standard = 100) is not available. The amplitude of thermal transients is not available. Exit velocity of pyroclasts, estimated through thermal camera analysis, is not available.

MODIS thermal anomalies are medium: 13.01 MW (00:12 UTC yesterday).

Rockfall activity is medium. The number of rockfalls is 6 per day.

SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is high, 207 t/d

CO2 flux based on the C/S of 8.27 mesured at 07:20 UTC on 2024/09/16 is high, 1501 t/d

The volcanic activity is generally characterized by strombolian explosions and puffing mainly located at NE crater sector. In the last 24h, the Stromboli volcano shows a HIGH degassing activity (puffing 82.2 mbar). The pressure of the explosions is HIGH (max acoustic pressure 1.33 bar). The number of thermal transients detected from thermal camera is not avaiable. The volcanic tremor shows HIGH values. The number of VLP events is MEDIUM (8.4 events/hour). MODIS/VIIRS images show MEDIUM thermal anomalies (max 13.01 MW). The SO2 flux measured at the NE crater sector is HIGH (207 t/d). The CO2 flux, based on a C/S ratio of 8.27 measured at 07:20 UTC of 16/09/2024, is HIGH (1501 t/d). The rockfall activity is MEDIUM (6 event detected in the last 24h), with LOW to MEDIUM seismic pseudo-volumes involved. The volcanic activity index is HIGH. NB: VLP rate could be underestimated due to technical problems of some seismic stations.
