This Sunday, January 15, will mark one year since the eruption of the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai volcano shocked the world. I remember being awestruck by these images.

A short thread.
In the Volcanic Explosivity Index scale, the eruption was rated at least a VEI-5. It was the most powerful eruption since the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa with an estimated eq. TNT yield of 100-200 megatons, more than the Tsar Bomba, the most powerful nuclear weapon ever detonated.
Tonga volcano had the highest plume ever recorded. The column of ash reached almost 58km altitude (36 miles). After one hour, the cloud of volcanic ash was roughly 650km wide. For comparison, that's roughly size of mainland Spain. earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/149474/…

What is #BatikAir flight 7583 doing? It's trying to land at #Malang airport, but there is an ash NOTAM.

#volcano #eruption #EastJava #Indonesia Image
It has made one go-around and is returning to the airport for a second chance I think.
It just flew over the airport at 13.000 feet. Weird.

Our new paper: »The sun was darkened for 17 days« (AD 797). An Interdisciplinary Exploration of Celestial Phenomena between #Byzantium, #Charlemagne, and a #VolcanicEruption. #MedievalWorlds 17/2022: doi.org/10.1553/mediev… (1/9)
#Byzanzforschung, @imafo_oeaw
The blinding of the #Byzantine Emperor Constantine VI in #Constantinople in August 797 CE and his overthrow by his mother Eirene was used as legitimation for the #coronation of the Frankish King #Charlemagne as emperor of the Romans on 25 December, 800. (2/9)
@imafo_oeaw
In #Byzantine sources, Constantine VI´s #blinding was linked with a spectacular #celestialmanifestation of divine disapproval: “The #sun was darkened for seventeen days and did not emit its rays so that ships lost course and drifted about.” (3/9)

📢 Update on the 2022 #Fagradalsfjall #eruption on #reykjanes:

Except for continuous degassing, no activity was observed at the vents since 6am of 21/08/2022. It is likely that eruption from the vents is over. But, any of 2-3 scenarios could be unfolding. More info 👇(1/7)
The eruption lingered on throughout the night of 20/08/2022. The glow from the northern vent, and from the lava creek flowing out of the lava pond to the SE, lit up the gas plume that rose from the crater. The glow from the lava creek diminished during the night. (2/7)
The northern vent maintained a glow until daybreak yesterday (i.e., until 4am on 21/08/2022). At around 5am, this vent ejected glowing magma blebs (spatter bombs) in several discrete explosions, over a period of 15 minutes. The bombs breached the crater rim (photo).

The first #stratospheric #volcanic #eruption of 2022, at #HungaTongaHungaHaapai (#Tonga) on Jan 13-14. #Sentinel5P #TROPOMI & @NASA's Aura/OMI both measure ~0.05 Tg SO₂ in the #volcanic cloud - not enough for #climate impacts. @CopernicusEU @NASAEarth @volcanessa @MetService
Another spectacular #eruption of Hunga #Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai at ~04:00 UTC on Jan 15. #Himawari8 data via @CIRA_CSU.
First look at SO₂ in the Jan 15 #eruption cloud measured by @eumetsat MetOp/GOME-2. So far, the SO₂ columns do not appear to be extreme; generally <20 Dobson Units (DU). For a Pinatubo-scale event we'd expect SO₂ columns >100 DU. More data soon.

An #eruption of #Nyiragongo #volcano (#DRC) began in the evening of May 22. #Meteosat satellite data (from @CIRA_CSU) show a strong thermal anomaly appearing at 17:15 UTC, and a small #volcanic plume amidst widespread regional convection. Follow @CharlesBalagizi for updates.
If you're looking for background info on #Nyiragongo and its previous flank #eruptions in 1977 and 2002, there's a collection of papers in the Italian Acta Vulcanologica journal available here (with free PDFs):
libraweb.net/articoli.php?c…
#Sentinel5P #Tropomi data on May 23 show SO₂ emissions from the #Nyiragongo #eruption. SO₂ to the SE over #Tanzania is at higher altitude (perhaps to tropopause level) and was emitted during the initial, more energetic phase of the eruption (17:00 UTC, May 22). @VirungaSupersit Image

(1) As a hurricane watcher (amateur, from behind a screen) I take an interest in other disaster types like earthquake, tsunami, & volcano.

International media coverage of the #Fagradalsfjall eruption in Iceland misses the mark a bit. Here's why.
(2) I see this phenomenon all the time, whenever New Zealand has an earthquake, tsunami or volcanic eruption.

Few in the media are trained in the responsible reporting of such disasters. They aim for clicks & ratings with little regard for public safety (anywhere.)
(3) Emergency Management Agencies (EMAs) usually issue media guidance & I've read such materials produced by the USA's FEMA.gov (the largest EMA in the world.) Unfortunately FEMA's website redesign makes it hard to find them now, but I'll add links below later on.

Strong signs of a potential #volcano #eruption near #Keilir on #Reykjanes peninsula. Scientists reporting #earthquake patterns that are similar to the start of an eruption. Eruption likely to start within the next few hours. Image
The ICAO airport code for @kefairport and #Reykjavik airport have been raised to Orange - which indicates a high likelihood of imminent eruption. Rescue teams are being put on standby. Coast Guard @gaeslan helicopter to fly over the area shortly. Press briefing scheduled for 1600
This potential eruption is not expected to cause any damage to infrastructure and towns/cities according to @almannavarnir. The eruption has not yet started and is far away from habited places.

Many have asked about what effects a potential #eruption in the #Reykjanes peninsula on @kefairport & #ReykjavikAirport. Based on standard procedure all airports in 120km radius from a #volcano get closed immediately and then reopened when @Vedurstofan issues ash advisory Image
The @kefairport location is optimal, even though it may be close to the potential eruption site since it is located on higher ground, greatly reducing the threat from lava flows. Depending on the magnitude of the eruption planes might have to change flight paths on arrival. Image
Given how few flights there are daily to/from #Iceland this is not expected to cause major issues. The Civil Aviation Authority @isavia is going through its response plans and preparing for the potential effects of an eruption. Image

Based on the latest satellite data there are signs of #magma buildup. Over 30cm of rising is the highest seen so far in the area. This has caused scientists to add a potential scenario of a volcanic #eruption in the area west of Keilir mountain in #Reykjanes peninsula. #icemagma Image
This magma buildup is the likely cause of the #earthquake swarm over the past few days. Most likely location if #magma does reach the surface is behind Keilir and #lava would most likely flow only to uninhabited areas. Image
Potential #eruptions in the #Reykjanes peninsula are not explosive eruptions but rather basic lava eruptions - similar to the #Holuhraun eruption in 2014. The area is known for eruption periods, lasting 1-200 years, and calm periods lasting like this one for 800 years.

Op het schiereiland Reykjanes wordt hard gewerkt aan de mid-oceanische rug. Dit soort aardbevingen gaan vaak gepaard met een magma-injectie in de korst, die ongeveer 10 km dik is onder dit deel van #IJsland (35 km onder Nederland. Soms leidt dat tot een spleetuitbarsting.
De aardbevingszwermen op het schiereiland Reykjanes, Z.W. #IJsland, blijven toenemen. Wie weet zit er wel een spleetuitbarsting in. ImageImageImage
Mooi om te zien hoe de aardbevingen schommelen rond de as van van het Krýsuvík systeem. Er wordt daar flink wat magma geïnjecteerd. ImageImage

#USA #Hawaii #Kilauea #Volcano #Eruption

The Kilauea in Hawaii is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and a popular tourist destination. But people should stay away from the volcano because it haunts ash and lava.
The eruption began yesterday evening inside the volcanic basin on the Big Island, said the US earthquake monitoring station USGS. Clouds of red steam rose into the night sky, as seen in images of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.
The USGS warned that a lot of volcanic ash could enter the atmosphere. Aircraft are said to fly around the area around Kilauea. The US weather service warned that the wind could carry the ashes to villages in the southwest of the island.

Ich frage mich seit #COVID19 die ganze Zeit, wie die letzten 5 Monate gelaufen wären, wenn stattdessen in China ein #Vulkan ausgebrochen wäre, dessen Asche nun droht, die Athmosphäre weltweit die nächsten 5 Jahre zu verdunkeln.
(Thread)
#Januar: China berichtet von Ausbruch bereits im Dezember des Vulkans #KoronaChang in #Muhan-Region. Welt ignoriert die Meldung als rein lokales Phänomen.
#Februar: Aschekonzentration in Europa steigt minimal. Erste Wissenschaftler warnen, werden ignoriert, während #Muhan-Region unter #pyroklastischer #Lawine versinkt. Chinas Wirtschaft kommt zum Erliegen.

Your annual reminder that although it is claimed, today probably wasn’t the day that Vesuvius erupted in AD 79 burying the landscape in volcanic debris and covering the Roman cities of #Pompeii and #Herculaneum as well as other settlements and rural villas in the area.
According to letters Pliny the Younger wrote to Tacitus, detailing his eye-witness account of the AD79 eruption, it happened on Aug 24th.
We only have transcribed copies of these letters & the eruption date on each version varies. It’s more likely that Vesuvius erupted in Oct/Nov
A charcoal inscription uncovered in #Pompeii contains the date ‘XVI K Nov’—16 days before the Kalends of Nov—equating to 17th Oct. Though no year is mentioned, the impermanence of charcoal suggests this could have been written close to the time of eruption.
