, the intensity of lightning production was highest at the start of the explosive eruption activity and gradually became less as the eruptive period went on (over the course of weeks). so, why all this lightning? it appears that during the start of an explosive eruption, the material coming...
Billowing clouds of ash are joined by spiderwebs of Volcanic lightning to create a light show that truly drives home Mother Nature’s terrifying splendor. This particular volcanic eruption began in June 2011, and Negroni was there with his trusty Nikon D300 to capture the action. Rather than ...
lightning, volcanic, bromine explosion, eruption, atmosphericVolcanic lightning has accompanied most recent major explosive eruptions and provides a source of intense thermal energy to drive the formation of reactive radical species. These radicals may have an impact upon the chemical evolution of the ...
Moreover, the study stressed the importance of continued investment in stratospheric satellite measurements. "Our understanding of the Hunga Tonga eruption is largely thanks to the investment in stratospheric satellite measurements by NOAA and NASA over the past two decades," says Dr. Mark Schoeberl ...
During the volcanic lightning storms we observed two phases of electrical activity: the explosive phase and the plume phase. The explosive phase consisted of very small discharges (on the order of 10–100 m) occurring directly above the vent while an explosive eruption was ongoing, whereas the ...

The volcanologist, Boris Behnke, told The Associated Press that volcanic lightning was observed once over Etna in 2021, and before that, in 2015. The eruption shortly before midnight Thursday didn't cause any damage. But it did shoot ash more than 6 miles into the air above sea level. ...
