The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is medium, 9.8 events/hour.

The amplitude of seismic tremor is medium.

The infrasonic activity is high. The acoustic pressure of explosions is high, 2 bar (standard values <1 bar). The amplitude of puffing is medium, ~70 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 low: 2 MW (00:00 UTC yesterday).

Rockfall activity is high. The number of rockfalls is 23 per day.

SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is medium, 118 t/d

CO2 flux based on the C/S of 16.49 mesured at 13:20 UTC on 2024/10/07 is high, 2080 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 70 mbar) and the pressure of the explosions shows HIGH to VERY HIGH (up to 2.8 bar). The volcanic tremor shows is mainly confined to MEDIUM values with a decreasing trend in the last 24h. The number of VLP events is MEDIUM (9.8 events/hour). MODIS and VIIRS satellite images show LOW thermal anomalies (2 MW). The SO2 flux, in the last 24h, was MEDIUM (118 t/d). The CO2 flux, based on the C/S ratio of 16.49 measured on 07/10/2024 at 13:20 UTC, is HIGH (2080 t/d). The rockfall activity is HIGH (23 events detected in the last 24h, with LOW seismic pseudo-volumes involved). The volcanic activity index is HIGH.
