Stereo Plume Height and Motion Retrievals for the Record-Setting Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai Eruption of 15 January 2022

James L. Carr et al.

Summary: Stereo methods using GOES-17 and Himawari-8 satellites revealed that the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcanic plume reached a record altitude of 50-55 km on January 15, 2022. This information is crucial for understanding plume height, dispersion, transport in the stratosphere, and climate impacts.

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.

The 2019-2020 volcanic eruption of Late'iki (Metis Shoal), Tonga

I. A. Yeo et al.

Summary: Late'iki is a highly active volcano in the Tofua arc, with multiple eruptions in the past few decades. The most recent eruption in 2019 led to the formation of a temporary island, which was quickly eroded by waves. New observations show that the volcano summit is mainly composed of lava, with a thin layer of fragmented lava residue, possibly from hot rock-water interactions during the eruption.

External Surface Water Influence on Explosive Eruption Dynamics, With Implications for Stratospheric Sulfur Delivery and Volcano-Climate Feedback

Colin R. Rowell et al.

Summary: Volcanic eruptions inject sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere, causing surface cooling. The interaction between volcanic eruptions and surface water plays a crucial role in eruption dynamics and the production of volcanic ash. By modeling conduit flow and atmospheric column rise, we investigate the effects of water entrainment on eruption behavior. Our results suggest that the efficiency of water entrainment is the key factor influencing eruption dynamics.

The Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai Hydration of the Stratosphere

L. Millan et al.

Summary: After the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai eruption on 15 January 2022, anomalous stratospheric values of trace gases were observed, including H2O, SO2, and HCl. The injection of these gases was confirmed by trajectories and radiance simulations. The magnitude and altitude of the H2O injection were unprecedented, with a mass estimate of 146 +/- 5 Tg, which could have long-lasting impacts on climate.

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.

Explosive Submarine Eruptions: The Role of Condensable Gas Jets in Underwater Eruptions

R. C. Cahalan et al.

Summary: In explosive underwater volcanic eruptions, volcanic jets carry fragmented tephra and gases into the water column, where they mix with seawater and rapidly cool, potentially causing steam to condense and breach the sea surface. Mass eruption rate is found to be the predominant control of jet height, and parameter maps are used to predict eruption breach limits at different water depths. The study also evaluates the role of dispersed ash on volcanic jet development and its effects on sea surface temperature anomalies and displacement.

The blue suns of 1831: was the eruption of Ferdinandea, near Sicily, one of the largest volcanic climate forcing events of we nineteenth century?

Christopher Garrison et al.

Summary: Recent investigation showed that the largest climate forcing eruption of the nineteenth century did not happen at Babuyan Claro volcano in the Philippines as previously believed, but at Ferdinandea volcano 50 km off the coast of Sicily. The eruption was underestimated in its climate forcing impact during 1831.

The impact of volcanic eruptions of different magnitude on stratospheric water vapor in the tropics

Clarissa Alicia Kroll et al.

Summary: Increasing the temperature of the tropical cold-point region through heating by volcanic aerosols leads to increases in the entry value of stratospheric water vapor (SWV) and subsequent changes in the atmospheric energy budget. Analyzing different strengths of tropical volcanic eruptions with sulfur injections, it was found that the aerosol profile shape also plays a role in the SWV increases.
