Volcanic meteotsunamis (VMTs) are global with impacts dependent on local topography. The impacts of a volcanic meteotsunami may occur where the oceanic tsunami is not present. Tsunami warning systems do not consider VMTs which can arrive first and may be several meters for a large volcanic eruption at locations with ideal topographical or bathymetric conditions. Here, we analyzed this event using high-frequency tide gauge data along with deep-water buoys and air pressure gauges worldwide.
