Records of Disturbances in the Sea of Japan Caused by the Eruption of Hong-Tonga-Hung-Haapai Volcano on January 15, 2022, in the Tonga Archipelago

Abstract

On January 15, 2022, a catastrophic eruption of Hunga-Tonga-Hunga-Ha’apai volcano in the Tonga archipelago occurred, accompanied by a strong explosive wave felt at very great distances from the volcano, as well as causing tsunami waves on nearby islands and sea level fluctuations at a distance from the volcano. The results of analysis of the perturbations caused by this eruption recorded on the Russian coast of the Sea of Japan are presented.
