Tonga Volcano Shockwave - 15/01/22

Following the volcanic eruption in Tonga on 15th Jan 2022 at 0400 UTC , the resulting atmospheric shockwave has been captured by our weather station.

The wave travelled at 1,110 Kph (about 16,517 Km away and took 15 hours to get here) and has been measured around the world on other amateur weather stations, many shared on Twitter.

At 16/01/22, 0145 UTC, a second spike is observed, which is the Long path shockwave. Theories suggest that the shockwaves moved North and South, when observing the delta times of the Pressure wave.
