When will the stratospheric water vapour return to pre-Hunga level? Open
The January 2022 eruption of the Hunga volcano (20°S), the most explosive in the past 30 years, injected 150 Tg of water vapour into the middle atmosphere, leading to an increase in the stratospheric water burden of 10%, unprecedented in t…
