The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is high, 12.5 events/hour.

The amplitude of seismic tremor is high.

The infrasonic activity is high. The acoustic pressure of explosions is low, 0.7 bar (standard values <1 bar). The amplitude of puffing is medium, ~80 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: 3.6 MW (00:54 UTC yesterday).

Rockfall activity is medium. The number of rockfalls is 40 per day.

SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is medium, 82 t/d

CO2 flux based on the C/S of 10.57 mesured at 07:20 UTC on 2024/12/03 is high, 1669 t/d

Indice di Attività Vulcanica: high

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

The volcanic activity is primarily characterized by Strombolian explosions and degassing (puffing/spattering) occurring at the NE crater sector. Explosions are associated with MEDIUM pressure values (maximum 0.94 bar). Over the past 24 hours, Stromboli volcano exhibited HIGH degassing activity (puffing/spattering with pressure values of ~80 mbar). The volcanic tremor shows HIGH values, with transient fluctuations up to VERY HIGH. The frequency of VLP events is HIGH (12.5 events per hour). SO2 flux is MEDIUM (82 t/d). CO2 flux is HIGH (daily mean of 1669 t/d, based on a C/S ratio of 10.57 measured on 03/12/2024 at 07:20 UTC). MODIS and VIIRS satellite images show LOW thermal anomalies (~3.5 MW). Rockfall activity is MEDIUM, with 40 events detected in the past 24 hours. The Volcanic Activity Index is HIGH.
