Perturbations in stratospheric aerosol evolution due to the water-rich plume of the 2022 Hunga-Tonga eruption

Large amounts of water vapour released to the stratosphere during the 2022 Hunga-Tonga hydromagmatic volcanic eruption led to decreased sulfur dioxide aerosol lifetime, increased sulfate particle size and a doubling of stratospheric aerosol optical depth, according to numerical simulations.
