Extended Data Fig. 7

Radiant Heat Flux derived from SEVIRI (blue dots), MODIS (red squares) and VIIRS (orange rhombus) over Nyiragongo area during 1 April to 30 June 2021. Absolute values are challenging to interpret, as the thermal monitoring of Nyiragongo is complicated by the presence of a thick volcanic gas plume and frequent cloud cover. The highest values are generally associated with large lava lake overflows and/or less cloudy conditions.
