- Abstract
Stromboli volcano represents an archetypical long-lasting open system volcano with a persistent mild explosive activity. This “ordinary” activity is sometimes interrupted by other kinds of activities such as: (i) major effusive eruptions, (ii) short-lived lava overflows, (iii) major explosions and (iv) paroxysmal explosions. Here, we present more than two decades of satellite-derived thermal data acquired over Stromboli by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suites between 2000 and 2022. We focused on the results obtained by comparing the Volcanic Radiative Power (VRP, Watt) retrieved from satellite with the catalogue of not-ordinary events that occurred in the same period. As a results, our analysis reveal that each type of activity is characterized by specific thermal patterns during the pre-, sin- and post-event phases. These results suggest that the space-based data may concur to better understand the processes acting on the Stromboli plumbing system and the role of the shallow magma column in driving ordinary and “not-ordinary” activity., The 28th IUGG General Assembly (IUGG2023) (Berlin 2023)
