The partial Sun eclipse of 8 March 2015: the Moon starts to cover the Sun disk. - Pictures
Orographic clouds over Panarea and Stromboli islands, in the Aeolian Archipelago (South Mediterranean). - Pictures
A so called “pyrocumulus”, a volcanogenic cloud originating from the summit craters of Stromboli volcano (Aeolian Archipelago, South Mediterranean). - Pictures
Panorama from the meteorological station of the TROPOMAG network located on the top of Salina island (Aeolian Archipelago, South Mediterranean). - Pictures
The Moon looks out the clouds over Stromboli volcano (Aeolian Archipelago, South Mediterranean) during the effusive eruption of summer 2019. - Pictures
Clouds at the sunset behind the sea stack of Western Bay at Vulcano island (Aeolian Archipelago, South Mediterraneran). - Pictures
Vulcano island (Aeolian Archipelago, South Mediterranean) wrapped by the fog in wintertime. On the background, Mt. Etna. - Pictures
The high altitude (2500 m asl) station of the meteorological TROPOMAG network on Mt. Etna volcano; in the background, the summit craters. - Pictures
General landscapes of the Palermo city area (Sicily), hosting one of the meteorological TROPOMAG network sites. Each site is composed of a pair of stations, one located close to the sea and the other one at higher elevations, but at a short planar distance from the previous one. Here, the low altitude station is located in the Botanical Garden of the University of Palermo, while the high altitude one at the top of Mt. Pellegrino (on the left in the picture), 600 m asl high. - Pictures
Landscape from the top of Mt. Fossa delle Felci, in the island of Salina, hosting a meteorological TROPOMAG site. - Pictures
The Island of Salina, in the volcanic Aeolian Archipelago (South Mediterranean), hosting a meteorological TROPOMAG acquisition site, composed of two stations, one located close to the sea, in the Santa Marina di Salina village, and the other one at the top of Mt. Fossa delle Felci, about 950 m high, both visible in the picture. - Pictures
The Vallonazzo valley, in the volcanic island of Stromboli, hosting one of the stations of the TROPOMAG network, aimed to measure possible anomalies caused by Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) in probes electrically coupled with the soil. This station, installed inside a small lava cave vented by a fumarole, is equipped with a capacitive probe measuring the volumetric soil moisture content and with a temperature sensor. - Pictures
Landscape from the roof of the town hall of Torre del Greco (Naples), where a station of the meteorological TROPOMAG network is installed. In the background, the silhouette of Mt. Vesuvius - Pictures
The Gran Cono crater, on Mt. Vesuvius (1281 m asl), from where the last eruption of 1944 took place. It hosts one of the meteorological TROPOMAG network sites. Each site is composed of a pair of stations, one located close to the sea and the other one at higher elevations, but at a short planar distance from the previous one. Here, the low altitude station is installed on the roof of the town hall of Torre del Greco. - Pictures
The crater of La Fossa cone, at Vulcano island (Aeolian Archipelago, South Mediterranean), which originated the most recent (1888-90) eruption of this volcano. It hosts one of the stations of the TROPOMAG network, aimed to measure possible anomalies caused by Geomagnetically Induced Currents (GICs) in probes electrically coupled with the soil. This station is equipped with a capacitive probe measuring the volumetric soil moisture content and a temperature sensor. - Pictures
