The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is medium, 11.6 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 medium, ~50 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: 7 MW (01:00 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 low, 56 t/d

CO2 flux based on the C/S of 29.07 mesured at 01:20 UTC on 2024/12/12 is medium, 1113 t/d

Indice di Attività Vulcanica: high

  • Seismic (VLP) rate MEDIUM
  • Seismic tremor HIGH
  • Puffing MEDIUM
  • Acustic pression of explosions MEDIUM
  • Thermal activity NOT AVAILABLE
  • SO2 flux LOW
  • 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, with one events reach HIGH values (1.8 bar), with a degassing activity on HIGH level (puffing/spattering with pressure values of about 50 mbar). The volcanic tremor shows oscillations from HIGH to MEDIUM values. The noumber of VLP events is MEDIUM (11.6 events/hour). SO2 flux from NE sector is LOW (56 t/d). CO2 flux measures is MEDIUM (1113 t/d) retrieved by C/S ratio of 29.07 measured at 01:20UTC of today. MODIS and VIIRS satellite images show LOW thermal anomalies (7 MW). The rockfall activity is LOW with 2 events detected in the last 24 hours. The Volcanic Activity Index is HIGH.
