LANL News:
New research published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters showed that the plume emitted by the Hunga Volcano eruption in 2022 created the highest lightning flash rates ever recorded on Earth, more than any storm ever documented.
“The eruption of Hunga Volcano was the largest volcanic explosion since Krakatau in 1883,” Sonja Behnke saod, of Los Alamos National Laboratory’s Electromagnetic Read More
