Zoomed in on the 40 x 40 region surrounding the volcano shows the MIR and TIR signals. 

18:08 UTC. MIR is at 60.87 C (saturation). Background TIR = -5.36 C, so MIR is 66.23 C above background. Satellite zenith angle = 32 degrees. Instant effusion rate = 18.9 m³/s or time averaged = 8.5 m³/s (10 observations)

22:22 UTC. MIR is at 65.97 C (saturation). Background TIR = -5.56 C, so MIR is 70.53 C above background. Satellite zenith angle = 4 degrees. Instant effusion rate = 19.6 m³/s or time averaged = 9.5 m³/s (11 observations)

04:05 UTC. MIR is at 43.97 C. Background TIR = -6.47 C, so MIR is 56.44 C above background. Satellite zenith angle = 48 degrees. Time averaged effusion rate = 10.3 m³/s (12 observations)
