Scientists have been baffled by mysterious ripples in the Earth’s atmosphere, seemingly triggered by the massive eruption of the underwater Tongan volcano.
Satellite data shows unusual atmospheric gravity waves since Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai’s eruption on Saturday which triggered massive 15ft tsunamis, devastating the island nation.
The massive blast also created unusual gravity waves stretching around 16,000 kilometres, which have never been seen before, reports Nature.com.
