Ultrasonic bursts preceding low-frequency (seismic) signals were detected on the Volcano Stromboli (Italy) for 365 over 579
seisms, by the use of three sensors for ultrasonic waves. We considered precursor signals the impulsive ultrasonic waves detected
on the volcanic surface from about 5 minutes before the seism, during periods of low volcanic and acoustic activity. Since
the discovered signals are precursors of seisms with the highest reliability, we can use them for an experimental study of
the predictability of seisms in a geophysical model.
