Lava flow at record low 2 m³/s on 16.08.22! Temporary low or eruption starting to wind down? 15.08

Filmed in the evening from 15th to 16.08.22. 4K. On August 15th the outflow was at 3 m³/s and on August 16th it dropped to record 2 m³/s! Scientists wonder if the eruption is starting to wind down or if this is a temporary low in longterm eruption.

August 15, 2022:

"The first processing of flight measurements from August 13 and 15 has now been completed. The results show that the flow of lava has greatly decreased. It was 11 m3/s on average on the 4th-13th. August, but the average flow from Saturday to Monday was much lower, 3-4 m3/s. Uncertainty is high in individual measurements when the periods are so short, but overall, the measurements that have been obtained since Saturday morning (including one from the Pleiades satellite) show that the eruption has definitely subsided. Is this in line with the fact that in recent days the number of fountains has decreased and lava flows have flowed less in Meradäli than before. It is impossible to say at this stage whether the end of the eruption is near, or whether it is only a temporary low in the eruption."

August 16, 2022:

"This morning at 10 flight measurements were made and the conditions for flight were good. The measurements confirm that the lava flow is now relatively low or about 2 m3/sec in the past 24 hours, but the uncertainty in that number is high."
