Strombolian activity is driven by gas dynamic, where large quantities of volatiles are first exsolved and then suddenly released, ejecting fragmented lava at ˜100-300 m height with exit velocities of 20-70 m/s. This conduit process is detected as VLP seismicity only in the final stage (<10 s before the explosion), when the rising gas slug interacts with the shallower part (last 200-300 m) of the feeding conduits. We present new ground deformation recorded with high-resolution tiltmeters (1 nrad) sampled at 1 Hz and detected by broad-band seismometers that extends the perception of this explosive process. Tiltmeters and seismometers reveal that the explosive process is accompanied by a persistent deformation of the ground detected as small (<100 nrad) inflation-deflation cycles ˜250 s long and associated with the constant process of gas recharge and discharge of the magma conduit.
