Global perturbation of stratospheric water and aerosol burden by Hunga eruption

S. Khaykin, A. Podglajen, et al.

The January 2022 Hunga Tonga volcano eruption marked a historic climatic event, injecting material 58 km into the atmosphere, increasing global stratospheric water mass by 13%, and massively amplifying aerosol load. Discover the insights from this groundbreaking research conducted by Sergey Khaykin and colleagues.

Abstract

The January 2022 Hunga Tonga volcano eruption injected volcanic material up to 58 km, causing an unprecedented 13% increase in global stratospheric water mass and a 5-fold increase in aerosol load. The plume's rapid global dispersal and significant stratospheric perturbation rank this event among the most remarkable climatic events in modern history, with potential long-lasting consequences.
