06/05/2026 - 12:20

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 very high, 3.96 bar (standard values <1 bar). The amplitude of puffing is high, ~52 mbar.

Tiltmeters analysis does not show any significant deformation of the volcano edifice

Thermal activity of explosive events is medium. The number of thermal transients in the NE sector of the crater (standard = 100) is high, 986. The amplitude of thermal transients is low, 4 ºF. Exit velocity of pyroclasts, estimated through thermal camera analysis, is low, 12 m/s.

MODIS thermal anomalies are high: 245 MW (02:50 UTC yesterday).

Rockfall activity is low. The number of rockfalls is 5 per day.

SO2 flux in the NE sector of the crater terrace is medium, 110 t/d

CO2 flux based on the C/S of 3.59 mesured at 09:20 UTC on 2026/05/06 is medium, 846 t/d

In the last 24h, Stromboli volcano showed HIGH degassing activity (puffing/spattering values of about 52 mbar) located mainly in the SW sector, associated with VERY HIGH explosive activity (max. acoustic pressure 3.96 bar), located mainly in the SW sector. The volcanic tremor has HIGH values. The number of VLP events is MEDIUM (11.7 events/hour). MODIS and VIIRS satellite images show HIGH thermal anomalies (245 MW). SO2 flux is MEDIUM (110 t/d) steadily increasing toward high values. CO2 flux data is MEDIUM (846 t/d) with a C/S ratio of 3.59. The number of rockfalls is LOW, with 5 events detected in the past 24h. The volcanic activity index is HIGH.
