The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is medium, 9.2 events/hour.

The amplitude of seismic tremor is high.

The infrasonic activity is high. The acoustic pressure of explosions is medium, 1 bar (standard values <1 bar). The amplitude of puffing is high, ~140 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: no thermal anomalies.

Rockfall activity: no rockfalls detected.

SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is medium, 93 t/d

CO2 flux based on the C/S of 8.09 mesured at 07:20 UTC on 2024/12/09 is medium, 697 t/d

Indice di Attività Vulcanica: high

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

The volcanic activity is characterized by Strombolian explosions and degassing (puffing/spattering) occurring at the NE crater sector. Explosions are associated with MEDIUM pressure values (up to 1 bar) and VERY HIGH degassing activity (puffing/spattering with pressure values of about 140 mbar). The volcanic tremor shows HIGH values. The noumber of VLP events is MEDIUM (9.2 events/hour). SO2 flux from NE sector is MEDIUM (93 t/d). CO2 flux measures is MEDIUM (697 t/d) retrieved by C/S ratio of 8.09 measured at 07:20UTC of today. MODIS and VIIRS satellite images doesn't show thermal anomalies. No events of rockfall have been detected in the last 24 hours. The Volcanic Activity Index is HIGH.
