Ongoing #eruption of #Ulawun #volcano (#PapuaNewGuinea) clearly detected amid tropical convection by the @JMA_kishou #Himawari8 SO₂ RGB product (yellow/orange = upper-level SO₂). Emissions continuing as of 15:40 UTC/Nov 20. Largest Ulawun eruption since 2019.

Der japanische Wettersatellit #Himawari8 zeigt die Eruption des #HungaTonga. Die Druckwelle breitete sich mit 1000 km/h pro Stunde über den Erdball aus (im Bild unten rechts, ab 13:30). 🌏 Tsunamiwellen gelangten bis an die Küsten Südamerikas. 2/4

Another spectacular #eruption of Hunga #Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai at ~04:00 UTC on Jan 15. #Himawari8 data via @CIRA_CSU.
VOLCAT also recorded a very high #volcanic cloud vertical growth rate in #GOES17 & #Himawari8 data. At ~40 standard deviations above the mean meteorological cloud growth rate, this is among the highest rates reported by Pavolonis et al. (2018)....
An incredible use of @CopernicusEU #Sentinel2 and #Himawari8 satellite imagery in this interactive feature from @abcnews, showing the terrifying scale of the #AustraliaFires viewed from space and how the disaster unfolded over this summer:

The eruption of the #WhiteIsland volcano in New Zealand at 2:11pm today captured in real time by the #Himawari8 satellite
A terrifying and completely unprecedented number of fires burning across Australia's east coast
(My home town of Forster is just south of the bottom visible fire)
Imagery taken this afternoon by the #Himawari8 satellite
The right eyewall of Super Typhoon #Hagibis grazed #Anatahan #volcano (#Marianas; at image center) on Oct 7. Fortunately, the island is uninhabited after unrest and #eruptions since the 1990s. The volcano is monitored remotely by @alaska_avo.

It's hard to grasp the immense size of the #QueenslandFloods until you see it from space. 🛰️
This false-colour image from the #Himawari8 satellite shows over 500 km of vast, continuous flooding along the #FlindersRiver in far north-west Queensland:
Aero Leplastrier from @GeoscienceAus: the Topographical Position Index can be applied to sea surface temperature data from the high temporal frequency #Himawari8 satellite to amplify and map the signal of oceanographic upwelling! #EarthObservation #ECSA57 🛰️🌊🌡️
Impressive! #Satellite image of Super typhoon #Noru. Seen by the Japanese #Himawari8 satellite (30.7 to 31.7) #Earthobservation

I just watched a rocket launch from Japan on a tiny little screen I held in my hands while I was in bed #iLiveInTheFuture #himawari8
