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 very high. The acoustic pressure of explosions is high, 2.4 bar (standard values <1 bar). The amplitude of puffing is high, ~150 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, 30. The amplitude of thermal transients is low, 10 ºF. Exit velocity of pyroclasts, estimated through thermal camera analysis, is medium, 20 m/s.

MODIS thermal anomalies are low: 2 MW (08:30 UTC yesterday).

Rockfall activity is medium. The number of rockfalls is 7 per day.

SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is low, 66 t/d

CO2 flux based on the C/S of 4.86 mesured at 01:20 UTC on 2024/10/14 is low, 345 t/d

Indice di Attività Vulcanica: high

  • Seismic (VLP) rate MEDIUM
  • Seismic tremor HIGH
  • Puffing HIGH
  • Acustic pression of explosions HIGH
  • Thermal activity LOW
  • SO2 flux LOW
  • CO2 flux LOW
  • Rockfall activity MEDIUM

In the last 24h, the volcanic activity is characterised by Strombolian explosions and puffing, mainly located at the NE crater sector. Degassing and spattering activity, localized at NE crater, shows VERY HIGH values (>150 mbar) and the pressure of the explosions is VERY HIGH (>2.0 bar). The volcanic tremor is HIGH to VERY HIGH. The number of VLP events is MEDIUM (10.3 events/hour). MODIS and VIIRS satellite images show LOW thermal anomalies. The SO2 and CO2 fluxes are LOW. The rockfall activity is MEDIUM (7 events detected in the last 24h, with LOW seismic pseudo-volumes involved). The volcanic activity index is HIGH.
