Abstract

AbstractWe use high temporal‐resolution mesoscale imagery from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite‐R (GOES‐R) series to track the Lamb and gravity waves generated by the 15 January 2022 Hunga Tonga‐Hunga Ha'apai eruption. The 1‐min cadence of these limited area (∼1,000×1,000 km2) brightness temperatures ensures an order of magnitude better temporal sampling than full‐disk imagery available at 10‐min or 15‐min cadence. The wave patterns are visualized in brightness temperature image differences, which represent the time derivative of the full waveform with the level of temporal aliasing being determined by the imaging cadence. Consequently, the mesoscale data highlight short‐period variations, while the full‐disk data capture the long‐period wave packet envelope. The full temperature anomaly waveform, however, can be reconstructed reasonably well from the mesoscale waveform derivatives. The reconstructed temperature anomaly waveform essentially traces the surface pressure anomaly waveform. The 1‐min imagery reveals waves with ∼40–80 km wavelengths, which trail the primary Lamb pulse emitted at ∼04:29 UTC. Their estimated propagation speed is ∼315 ± 15 m s−1, resulting in typical periods of 2.1–4.2 min. Weaker Lamb waves were also generated by the last major eruption at ∼08:40–08:45 UTC, which were, however, only identified in the near field but not in the far field. We also noted wind effects such as mean flow advection in the propagation of concentric gravity wave rings and observed gravity waves traveling near their theoretical maximum speed.
