The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is medium, 11.7 events/hour.
The amplitude of seismic tremor is high.
The infrasonic activity is high. The acoustic pressure of explosions is medium, 1.94 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 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.

The volcanic activity is generally characterized by strombolian explosions and degassing (puffing/spattering) both located at the NE crater sector. Spattering is characterized by HIGH to VERY HIGH values of pressure and this activity is correlated with seismic tremor characterized by HIGH values. In the last 24h, the Stromboli volcano showed a VERY HIGH degassing activity (puffing/spattering with values of about 150 mbar). The explosive activity is HIGH (max acoustic pressure 1.94 bar). The volcanic tremor shows HIGH to MEDIUM values. The number of VLP events shows HIGH values (11.7 events/hour). MODIS/VIIRS thermal data shows LOW thermal anomalies (max 2 MW). SO2 flux shows LOW values (last: 48 t/d recorded on the 14/12/2024), CO2 flux shows MEDIUM values (last: 941 t/d based on C/S value of 19.37 recorded on the 14/12/2024). The rockfall activity is LOW (n.3 events detected). The volcanic activity index is HIGH. (NB Recorded data is affected by adverse weather conditions: strong wind)
