Bulletin n. 7709

19/04/2026 - 07:44

The number of VLP seismic events (standard values 5-12) is high, 14.6 events/hour.

The amplitude of seismic tremor is medium.

The infrasonic activity is medium. The acoustic pressure of explosions is very high, 2.2 bar (standard values <1 bar). The amplitude of puffing is medium, ~42 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 high: 109 MW (03:30 UTC yesterday).

Rockfall activity is low. The number of rockfalls is 1 per day.

SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is medium, 81 t/d

CO2 flux based on the C/S is not available

Indice di Attività Vulcanica: medium

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

The volcanic activity is generally characterized by strombolian explosions located at the NE crater sector and degassing (puffing/spattering) located at NE and SW crater sectors. In the last 24h, the Stromboli volcano showed MEDIUM degassing activity (puffing/spattering with values of about 42 mbar). The explosive activity is VERY HIGH (max acoustic pressure 2.2 bar). The volcanic tremor shows generally MEDIUM values. The number of VLP events shows HIGH values (14.6 events/hour). MODIS/VIIRS thermal data show HIGH thermal anomalies (109 MW) in agreement with the lava overflow from 18/04/2026 at 22 UTC. SO2 flux shows MEDIUM values (81 t/d recorded on 18/04/2026), CO2 flux shows no new data. The rockfall activity is LOW (1 event detected in the last 24h having a LOW seismic pseudo-volume). The volcanic activity index is MEDIUM.
