The eruption of an underwater volcano known as Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haapai, January 15 this year, located in the archipelago Tonga, caused some effects that were reflected among specialists.
The eruption of an underwater volcano known as Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haapai, January 15 this year, located in the archipelago Tonga, caused some effects that were reflected among specialists. There was a supersonic impact that swept the world twice, and it even created a tsunami, but the impressive phenomena did not stop there.
A series of earthquakes occurred between August and November 2020.
According to the discovered aura companiongives NASAthrough the toolmicrowave sounderThe eruption was reported to have sent enough water vapor into the stratosphere to fill 58,000 Olympic swimming pools. It is estimated that the Earth’s surface will have to face temporary heatingbut it’s not too disturbing despite being interesting.
Information received from a satellite of the US space agency, whose function is to measure the content of ozone, vapors and other atmospheric gases, surprised experts. The event delivered approx. 146 teragrams of water into the stratosphere. For greater clarity, it is worth mentioning that only 1 (one) teragram is equivalent to one trillion grams. Applying it in this situation, it is equivalent to 10% of the water that was already in the stratosphere before.
Louis Millan, atmospheric scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California and author of a journal study of water vapor discoveries. Geophysical Research Letters July adds:
“We have never seen anything like it. We had to carefully check all the measurements on the plume to make sure they were valid.”
Over time, the extra steam emitted will decrease and the reported heating will stop. Even if this is a significant event, it should not significantly affect the already existing problems associated with the climate crisis. The caldera of the volcano is located approximately 150 meters below the ocean surface, which is the main reason experts point to for the large amount of vapor mentioned. It is neither very shallow nor very deep, which offers a favorable scenario for the outcome described in this article.
