The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is medium, 8.5 events/hour.

The amplitude of seismic tremor is high.

The infrasonic activity is high. The acoustic pressure of explosions is low, 0.91 bar (standard values <1 bar). The amplitude of puffing is high, ~100 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: 3.7 MW (11:48 UTC yesterday).

Rockfall activity: no rockfalls detected.

SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is medium, 135 t/d

CO2 flux based on the C/S of 8.93 mesured at 07:20 UTC on 2024/11/18 is high, 1915 t/d

Indice di Attività Vulcanica: high

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

The volcanic activity is generally characterized by strombolian explosions and degassing (puffing/spattering) located at the NE crater sector. Explosions are characterized by MEDIUM values of pressure (max 0.91 bar). In the last 24h, the Stromboli volcano showed a VERY HIGH degassing activity (puffing/spattering with values of about 100 mbar). The volcanic tremor shows HIGH values. The number of VLP events is MEDIUM (8.5 events/hour). SO2 flux is MEDIUM (135 t/d). The CO2 flux is HIGH (daily mean flux of 1915 t/d based on a C/S ratio of 8.93 measured on 18/11/2024 at 07:20 UTC). MODIS/VIIRS thermal data shows LOW thermal anomalies (max 3.70 MW). The rockfall activity is LOW (no events detected during the last 24h). The volcanic activity index is HIGH.
