On January 15, 2022, a volcanic eruption in the South Pacific caused a rare tsunami that traveled thousands of miles. Find out how NOAA sent vital communications in real time & what the eruption could mean for tsunami research:
around the United States. These stations measure the distance from the sensor to the water surface using microwaves. The technology takes these measurements every second and then averages it out every six minutes or more frequently.
Notably, only 5% of tsunamis are triggered by volcanic activity — and this one was massive. The waves were measured thousands of miles away, as far as the Caribbean. “I was living through something never before experienced in this way,” said Greg Dusek, senior scientist at the NOAA National Ocean Service’s Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services. “Throw in that this all happened during high tide in some places, and we saw a significant event, particularly in Hawaii and California.
