Abstract
    The Hunga Tonga undersea volcanic eruption was one of the most powerful recorded, with audible sound detected more than 10,000 kilometers from the source. Matoza et al. present infrasound and seismic recordings, along with other geophysical observations, that help to describe this event. An atmospheric lamb wave, characteristic of energetic atmospheric events, circled the planet four times and was similar to the 1883 Krakatau eruption. Kubota et al. detail how this lamb wave contributed to the global tsunami waves arriving much earlier than expected. The eruption also generated long-range infrasounds and ionospheric interations, along with a global tsunami. This set of observations will be helpful for disentangling the event and understanding the propagation of waves through the atmosphere and ocean (see the Perspective by Brodsky and Lay).
