The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is medium, 7.6 events/hour.

The amplitude of seismic tremor is medium.

The infrasonic activity is medium. The acoustic pressure of explosions is low, 0.6 bar (standard values <1 bar). The amplitude of puffing is medium, ~50 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, 4. The amplitude of thermal transients is not available. Exit velocity of pyroclasts, estimated through thermal camera analysis, is not available.

MODIS thermal anomalies are low: 3 MW (00:36 UTC yesterday).

Rockfall activity is high. The number of rockfalls is 30 per day.

SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is high, 182 t/d

CO2 flux based on the C/S of 21.86 mesured at 21:20 UTC on 2024/10/04 is high, 2125 t/d

In the last 24h, the volcanic activity is characterised by Strombolian explosions and puffing, mainly located at the NE crater sector. Degassing activity shows HIGH values (puffing about 50 mbar) and the pressure of the explosions is MEDIUM (max acoustic pressure 0.9 bar). The thermal activity shows LOW number of explosions. The volcanic tremor shows oscillation from MEDIUM to HIGH values. The number of VLP events is MEDIUM (7.6 events/hour). MODIS and VIIRS satellite images show LOW thermal anomalies (3 MW). The SO2 flux, in the last 24h, was HIGH (182 t/d). The CO2 flux, based on the C/S ratio of 21.86 measured on 04/10/2024 at 21:20 UTC, is HIGH (2125 t/d). The rockfall activity is HIGH (30 events detected in the last 24h, with LOW to MEDIUM seismic pseudo-volumes involved). The volcanic activity index is HIGH.
