The two csv files contain the onset times of the Mt Etna eruptive events, divided into "FLANK ERUPTIONS" and "SUMMIT PAROXYSMS". The two files cover a different time window.
In particular:
- File OnsetTimes_flank.csv is a 1-column csv file containing the year (Current Era, CE) of the known flank eruptions since 1600 CE, taken from Proietti and Branca (2024).
- File OnsetTimes_paroxysm.csv is a 6-column csv file containing the year (CE), the month, the day, and, when known, the hour, the minutes and the seconds, of the known summit paroxysms from Andronico et al. (2021), Calvari et al. (2018), Calvari and Nunnari (2022) and Mereu et al. (2023). This file covers the time period 1986-2022 CE.
The files have been obtained by collating data available in the literature.
