Re: 2023 Season Forecasts (Updated)

Thought I'd post an update in case anyone found this interesting.

Why is it warmer than usual? A Twitter thread started by Ryan Maue says that the January '22 Hunga Tonga volcano (Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai submarine volcano) was originally estimated to have put 50 million metric tons of water into the stratosphere, but those estimates are now realized to have been low by a factor of 3x.

150 million metric tons of water, or 40 trillion gallons of water.

While Volcanic eruptions high in SO2 cause cooling, those high in water produce heating. Pinatubo's SO2 cooled the Earth for years, but Hunga Tonga had 2% of Pinatubo's SO2. They expect Hunga Tonga's water vapor to warm the Earth for seven years.

Lots more detail at EOS.
