This repository contains code and data used in the The January 2022 eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano reached the mesosphere paper submitted in Feb 2022.
Here you will find in the top level directory:
- Three python notebooks (
Make_FigN.ipynb) that were used to generate figures 2, 3 and 4. Simple_BT_Altitude.ipynb, a notebook that loops over Himawari-8 data to run the IR temperature-based retrieval of plume altitude.Points_Dual.csv, which contains the retrieved altitudes and locations of pixels in the 04:30 plume analysis (using AMI and AHI).Points_Tri.csv, which contains the positions and retrieved altitudes of pixels across multiple satellite timesteps using all three satellite sensors (AMI, ABI, AHI).TProfs.csv, which contains the ECMWF and GFS temperature profiles, pressures and geometric altitudes.- Various other files used in processing, most of which duplicate one or more of the above.
The Height_Out subdirectory contains TIF files for each Himawari-8 timestep. These files contain float32 values denoting the plume altitude retrieved using the IR brightness temperature method.
The Heightmap subdirectory contains TIF files for each 10 minute timestep covering the plume in daylight. These files contain float32 values denoting plume altitude retrieved using the stereoscopic method.
The Figures subdirectory contains PNG and EPS versions of the figures (or subfigures) used in the article.
The Scripts subdirectory contains:
BT_Height_Helpers.py: Helper functions for the IR-based temperature retrievalfind_best_alt.py: A script to run the parallax-based altitude retrieval. It can be run with:python find_best_alt.py satnum pixnumwheresatnumis either "3sat" or "2sat", describing whether to run the tri- or dual-satellite retrieval.pixnumdenotes the pixel number (references in the appropriate csv file) to run.helpers.py: Helper functions for the parallax-based altitude retrieval.
