Reason #12456457 why I'm interested in meteorology! Weather and earth science is endless and its power is incredible. These videos are from the mostly underwater volcanic eruption that happened near Tonga Friday evening. IMAGE 1: Is a satellite view from satellite #GOESWest of the volcanic ash cloud eruption. If you pay close attention you will see the shockwaves expand outward. IMAGE 2: Is an infrared view also from #GOESWest. It is beyond incredible to see the contrast in what is going on here scientifically. You see the warmth of the ash cloud as it interacts with the cold of the troposphere and expands out. Might not mean much to some, but my science brain is amazed. Again, if you pay close attention you will see the shockwaves from the explosion expand outward. https://www.instagram.com/weathergirl8/p/CYxPtTmJKBA/?utm_medium=tumblr
