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 high. The acoustic pressure of explosions is medium, 1.3 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, 20. The amplitude of thermal transients is not available. Exit velocity of pyroclasts, estimated through thermal camera analysis, is low, 10 m/s.
MODIS thermal anomalies are low: 3 MW (00:54 UTC yesterday).
Rockfall activity is medium. The number of rockfalls is 19 per day.
SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is medium, 84 t/d
CO2 flux based on the C/S is not available
Indice di Attività Vulcanica: high

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 (max 1.3 bar). The volcanic tremor is HIGH. The number of VLP events is MEDIUM (10.3 events/hour). MODIS and VIIRS satellite images show LOW thermal anomalies in the last 24h. SO2 flux is MEDIUM while CO2 flux is not available. The rockfall activity is MEDIUM (19 events detected in the last 24h, with MEDIUM seismic pseudo-volumes involved). The volcanic activity index is HIGH.
