Height of #HungaTonga eruption looks to have been around 30 km, from space-based lidar. CREDIT: Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) data on NASA site via Dr Ghassan Taha. ozoneaq.gsfc.nasa.gov/data/aerosols/… science.gsfc.nasa.gov/sed/bio/ghassa… Note: The 2014 Kelud eruption observed on lidar showed comprehensively that if you get the lidar over the right spot, you can see very high tops! 30 km is prob not the actual top. Nor did we see how high the much larger Pinabuto eruption really went. volcano.si.edu/volcano.cfm?vn…
