The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is medium, 10.1 events/hour.

The amplitude of seismic tremor is very high.

The infrasonic activity is high. The acoustic pressure of explosions is medium, 1.3 bar (standard values <1 bar). The amplitude of puffing is high, ~180 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, 50. 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 medium: 17 MW (01:45 UTC yesterday).

Rockfall activity is low. The number of rockfalls is 2 per day.

SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is high, 196 t/d

CO2 flux based on the C/S of 7.91 mesured at 21:20 UTC on 2024/10/14 is medium, 667 t/d

Indice di Attività Vulcanica: high

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

In the last 24h, the volcanic activity is characterised by Strombolian explosions and puffing 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 MEDIUM (>1.0 bar). The volcanic tremor is VERY HIGH. The number of VLP events is MEDIUM (10.1 events/hour). MODIS and VIIRS satellite images show MEDIUM thermal anomalies. The SO2 and CO2 fluxes are HIGH and MEDIUM, respectively. The rockfall activity is LOW (2 events detected in the last 24h, with LOW seismic pseudo-volumes involved). The volcanic activity index is HIGH.
