The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is medium, 9.5 events/hour.

The amplitude of seismic tremor is high.

The infrasonic activity is high. The acoustic pressure of explosions is very high, 3.8 bar (standard values <1 bar). The amplitude of puffing is medium, ~50 mbar.

Tiltmeters analysis at 00:17 has recored a deformation of about 1.6 urad at OHO tilmeter.

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 high: 196 MW (00:42 UTC yesterday).

Rockfall activity is high. The number of rockfalls is 21 per day.

SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is medium, 93 t/d

CO2 flux based on the C/S of 8.38 mesured at 21:20 UTC on 2024/10/05 is medium, 1009 t/d

Indice di Attività Vulcanica: high

  • Seismic (VLP) rate MEDIUM
  • Seismic tremor HIGH
  • Puffing MEDIUM
  • Acustic pression of explosions VERY HIGH
  • Thermal activity NOT AVAILABLE
  • SO2 flux MEDIUM
  • CO2 flux MEDIUM
  • Rockfall activity HIGH

In the last 24h, the volcanic activity has been punctuated by a major explosive event occurred at 00:17UTC of today that generated a VLP signal with amplitude of 4*10-5 m. and a deformation, recorded at OHO tilmeter of about 1.6urad. The event, localized at NE crater has a max infrasonic pressure of 200 Pa and, ultimately, was followed by a short-live overflows which generated, at 00:45UTC a thermal anomaly of 196 MW, recorded by VIIRS sensor. On a whle, the 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. The volcanic tremor shows oscillation from MEDIUM to HIGH values. The number of VLP events is MEDIUM (9.5 events/hour). The SO2 flux, in the last 24h, was MEDIUM (93 t/d). The CO2 flux, based on the C/S ratio of 8.38 measured on 05/10/2024 at 21:20 UTC, is HIGH (1009 t/d). The rockfall activity is HIGH (21 events detected in the last 24h, with LOW to MEDIUM seismic pseudo-volumes involved). The volcanic activity index is HIGH.
