Seismic recordings of the Hunga Tonga volcanic eruption

Caption

Recordings of the eruption of the Hunga Tonga volcano by the stations of the global seismological network. The first 'burst' corresponds to the recording of surface seismic waves (P- and Rayleigh waves), while the later-arriving waves are due to sound waves travelling through the air (air waves).
