The radial spreading of volcanic umbrella clouds deduced from satellite measurements by Fred Prata, Andrew T. Prata, Rebecca Tanner, Roy G. Grainger, Michael Borgas, Thomas J. Aubry

“…A hyperbolic tangent model, r ~ tanh(t) is presented that matches the entire radial spreading time history and has a conserved torus-shaped volume in which the intrusion depth is proportional to sech(t). This model also predicts the observed radial velocities. The data and the model estimates of the volumetric flow rate for the 15 January 2022 Hunga eruption are found to be 3.6–5 × 1011 m3s−1, the largest ever measured.…”
