WOW!! If it was above the sea surface it would have had been on the scale of Tambora in 1815. BUT tsince it was below the seas surface the amount of water vapor release was the highest ever recorded and reanalyzed.

As impressive as satellite signature was for #Tonga volcanic eruption in January 2022, subsequent research is redefining just how *big* it was.

9.5 km^3 of material ~1.8x magnitude of Pinatubo 1991!

Imagine it would have been a far worse disaster if volcano was above water. https://t.co/vBHv2lR3hU pic.twitter.com/r1qyxjVPPv

Folks, this is mind boggling 10 x around the beautiful God given planet of beauty this shockwave has travelled. I asked how this affects the resonance and waves of the atmospheric fluid dynamics? Does it cause perturbations at different level and what role does it have? Just amazing to me. Imagine what Krakatoa and Tambura did??

It is amazing that after 7 days the #Tonga #eruption shock wave continues to circle the planet (10 times!) and can still be detected in the infrared by geostationary satellites such as #GOES16 and #GOES17. @matplotlib @xarray_dev @Satellite_GOES pic.twitter.com/1dSYZMdlGT
