Description
English: On Jan. 13, 2022, NOAA’s GOES West satellite captured another explosive eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcano, located in the South Pacific Kingdom of Tonga. According to local officials, the eruption had a radius of 260 km (161.5 miles), and sent ash, steam, and gas 20 kilometers (12.4 miles) into the air. It was also about seven times more powerful than the previous eruption on Dec. 20, 2021. Additionally, a tidal gauge in Nuku'alofa, the capital of Tonga, measured a 30 cm (one foot) tsunami wave that resulted from the blast. In the above visible imagery from the satellite, we can see the extent of the ash plume as well as multiple rippling gravity waves emanating outward. This type of imagery from the “red” visible band has the finest spatial resolution of all the bands on the satellite’s Advanced Baseline Imager, making it ideal to identify small-scale features.
