abstract = {On 15 January 2022, the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai (HTHH)
(175.38° W, 20.54° S) volcano erupted explosively. It is
considered the most explosive volcanic eruption during the
past 140 years. The HTHH volcanic eruption caused intense
ripples, Lamb waves, and gravity waves in the atmosphere
which encircled the globe several times, as reported by
different studies. In this study, using OMI, SAGE-III/ISS,
and CALIPSO satellite observations, we investigated the
spread of the volcanic SO2 cloud due to the HTHH eruption
and subsequent formation of sulfuric acid clouds in the
stratosphere. It took about 19–21 days for the
stratospheric SO2 injections of the HTHH to encircle the
globe longitudinally due to a dominant westward jet with
wind speeds of ~2500 km/day, and it slowly dispersed over
the whole globe within several months due to poleward
spread. The formation of sulfuric acid clouds intensified
after about a month, causing the more frequent occurrence of
high aerosol optical depth elevated layers in the
stratosphere at an altitude of about 20–26 km. This study
deals with the dynamics of volcanic plume spread in the
stratosphere, knowledge of which is essential in estimating
the accurate radiative effects caused by perturbations in
the earth–atmosphere system due to a volcanic eruption. In
addition, this knowledge provides important input for
studies related to the geo-engineering of the earth’s
atmosphere by injecting particulates and gases into the
stratosphere.},
