Tonga faces drinking water crisis as it awaits arrival of aid after volcanic eruption – National

Two New Zealand navy vessels will arrive in Tonga on Friday carrying critical water supplies for the Pacific island nation reeling from a volcanic eruption and tsunami and largely cut off from the outside world. Hundreds of homes in Tonga’s smaller outer islands have been destroyed, and at least three people were killed after Saturday’s huge eruption triggered tsunami waves, which rolled over the…

Hmmm.....maybe this might explain some of the increase in global precipitation this year? Excerpt from this story from ABC News (Australia):

The massive eruption of a Tongan volcano this year released a record amount of water into the Earth's atmosphere, enough to temporarily warm the globe, NASA scientists say.

The January 15 eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha-apai volcano, sent more than 58,000 Olympic-size swimming pools' worth of water vapour into the stratosphere, according to a study published in the Geographical Research Letters' last month.

Researchers estimate the underwater eruption in the South Pacific expelled 146 teragrams (1 teragram equals a trillion grams) of water vapour, approximately 10 per cent of the water already present in the atmospheric layer 12 to 53 kilometres above the Earth's surface.

That amount was nearly four times the level of water vapour emitted by the 1991 Mount Pinatubo eruption in the Philippines, said the space agency.

Whilst NASA have previously recorded other volcanic eruptions that have injected significant amounts of water vapour into the stratosphere, those events had dissipated quickly.

This time, they believe the excess water vapour from the Tonga eruption could remain airborne for several years and potentially warm the Earth's surface.

The extra water vapour could influence "atmospheric chemistry" that could "temporarily worsen the depletion of the ozone layer" and also influence surface temperatures, but not enough to worsen climate change, the agency said in a release.

"Massive volcanic eruptions like Krakatoa and Mount Pinatubo typically cool Earth’s surface by ejecting gases, dust, and ash that reflect sunlight back into space," NASA said. Scientists are scrambling to piece together an unprecedented cascade of events that led to and followed a volcanic eruption in Tonga.

Underwater volcanic eruption causes Tsunami in Tonga

Underwater volcanic eruption causes Tsunami in Tonga Tsunami waves caused by a giant underwater volcanic eruption have hit the Pacific country of Tonga. A tsunami warning sent residents scrambling to higher ground. The eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai volcano sent shockwaves across the South Pacific. Tonga’s capital lies just 65km north of the volcano. A second eruption hit on…
