El seguimiento de los potenciales cambios en los dinamismos eruptivos que ocurren durante las erupciones de larga duración representa un gran reto para la vulcanología actual y constituye una etapa crucial del monitoreo volcánico y de la evaluación de la amenaza. En muchos volcanes, los períodos eruptivos son largos (del orden de varios años), tiempo durante el cual los volcanes presentan una actividad intermitente, sin llegar a experimentar erupciones explosivas importantes, como por ejemplo en el volcán Ubinas (Perú) que se reactivó en el 2006 y cuya actividad se extendió hasta el 2008 (Rivera et al., 2010). En otros casos, el tiempo entre el inicio de la erupción y el paroxismo eruptivo puede ser relativamente largo, del orden de meses o años. Este fue el caso del volcán Tungurahua (Ecuador) que se reactivó en 1999, y cuyo paroxismo se produjo 7 años después de iniciad...

Volcanic activity is always accompanied by the transfer of heat from the Earth’s crust to the atmosphere. This heat can be measured from space and its measurement is a very useful tool for detecting volcanic activity on a global scale. MIROVA (Middle Infrared Observation of Volcanic Activity) is an automatic volcano hot spot detection system, based on the analysis of MODIS data (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer). The system is able to detect, locate and quantify thermal anomalies in near real-time, by providing, on a dedicated website (www.mirovaweb.it), infrared images and thermal flux time-series on over 200 volcanoes worldwide. Thanks to its simple interface and intuitive representation of the data, MIROVA is currently used by several volcano observatories for daily monitoring activities and reporting. In this paper, we present the architecture of the system and we prov...
