The characteristics of the 2022 Tonga volcanic tsunami in the Pacific Ocean

Abstract ∼ ∼ - 1 ∼ ∼ ∼ - 1 ∼ - 1 ∼ ∼  0.8–1.8 km. Surprisingly, the 2022 Tonga volcanic tsunami produced long oscillation in the Pacific Ocean which is comparable with that of the 2011 Tohoku tsunami. We point out that the long oscillation is associated not only with the resonance effect with the atmospheric acoustic-gravity waves but more importantly with their interactions with local bathymetry. This rare event also calls for more attention to the tsunami hazards produced by an atypical tsunamigenic source, e.g. volcanic eruption.
