Global Propagation of Ionospheric Disturbances Associated With the 2022 Tonga Volcanic Eruption

David R. Themens et al.

Summary: This study uses measurements from globally distributed Global Navigation Satellite System receivers to track the progression of traveling ionospheric disturbances (TIDs) associated with the eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai submarine volcano. The results demonstrate the global impact of the Tonga eruption on the ionospheric state.

Worldwide Signature of the 2022 Tonga Volcanic Tsunami

Matias Carvajal et al.

Summary: The 2022 Tonga tsunami, triggered by the eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano, was characterized by small leading waves arriving earlier than expected, while the largest waves were concentrated in the Pacific region and their timing coincided with tsunami propagation times from the volcano.

Global fast-traveling tsunamis driven by atmospheric Lamb waves on the 2022 Tonga eruption

Tatsuya Kubota et al.

Summary: On January 15, 2022, the eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha`apai volcano caused tsunamis, with the generation of the tsunami forerunner related to fast-moving atmospheric Lamb waves and subsequent tsunamis related to bathymetric variations in the Pacific Ocean. The tsunamis caused by this volcanic eruption are more complex and longer-lasting than ordinary earthquake-induced tsunamis.

Atmospheric waves and global seismoacoustic observations of the January 2022 Hunga eruption, Tonga

Robin S. Matoza et al.

Summary: The eruption of the Hunga volcano in Tonga on 15 January 2022 caused an explosion in the atmosphere, generating a range of atmospheric waves that were observed globally. The eruption produced significant infrasound, audible sound, and ionospheric perturbations, and contributed to the occurrence of tsunamis. The exceptional observations of the atmospheric waves are highlighted in this study.

2022 Tonga Volcanic Eruption Induced Global Propagation of Ionospheric Disturbances via Lamb Waves

Shun-Rong Zhang et al.

Summary: The study provides a global perspective on the ionospheric disturbances caused by the Tonga volcano eruption. Using ionospheric measurements from over 5,000 GNSS ground receivers worldwide, the study reveals the radial outbound and inbound traveling ionospheric disturbances following the eruption. These disturbances propagate globally and follow the effect of Lamb waves, suggesting the leakage of energy from Lamb waves into the ionosphere.

Surface-to-space atmospheric waves from Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai eruption

Corwin J. Wright et al.

Summary: The January 2022 Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai eruption was one of the most explosive volcanic events of the modern era, generating a series of atmospheric waves including Lamb waves at the surface and gravity waves in the stratosphere. This eruption had a global-scale impact and resulted in visible circular wavefronts in satellite observations. It holds significant importance for improving weather and climate models.

Tonga volcanic eruption and tsunami, January 2022: globally the most significant opportunity to observe an explosive and tsunamigenic submarine eruption since AD 1883 Krakatau

James P. Terry et al.

Summary: The violent eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga HaModified Letter Turned Commaapai submarine volcano in January 2022, which produced ocean-wide tsunamis, presents a unique opportunity for investigating volcanic tsunamigenesis and improving tsunami hazard assessment. The event highlights the existing blind spot in our understanding of tsunamis caused by volcanic activity in the Pacific Ocean.

Near-Field Strong Ground Motions from GPS-Derived Velocities for 2020 Intermountain Western United States Earthquakes

Brendan W. Crowell

Summary: In early 2020, four moderate sized earthquakes occurred in the western United States. High-rate GPS velocity observations were found to provide good agreement with seismic recordings and ShakeMap estimations of peak ground velocity. The study highlights the utility of high-rate GPS velocity observations to strong-motion seismology.

Correlation Between GNSS-TEC and Eruption Magnitude Supports the Use of Ionospheric Sensing to Complement Volcanic Hazard Assessment

Fabio Manta et al.

Summary: This study explores the use of GNSS to measure ionospheric total electron content (TEC) perturbations to complement traditional volcano monitoring systems. A new metric, the Ionospheric Volcanic Power Index (IVPI), is introduced to quantify the energy transferred to the ionosphere by volcanic explosions. Results indicate that IVPI correlates well with the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) and could potentially improve continuous volcano monitoring and warning systems through remote sensing.

Determining spatio-temporal characteristics of coseismic travelling ionospheric disturbances (CTID) in near real-time

Boris Maletckii et al.

Summary: This study introduces a novel method for automatic detection and determination of spatio-temporal characteristics of CTID in ionospheric GNSS-data, along with real-time estimation of CTID source location and velocity. Additionally, the concept of real-time travel-time diagrams was developed for the first time to aid in verifying the correlation of CTID with the source and estimating the observed CTID propagation speed.
