Description

 Based on the well-documented Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha'apai volcano explosive eruption on 15 January 2022, we developed the "Atmospheric Tsunami Associated with Lamb waves" or ATAL ocean model and performed 12 realistic and process oriented numerical simulations to assess the sea-level hazards posed by planetary meteotsunami waves. Here, we provide the ATAL model results of maximum sea-levels during day 1 and day 2 after the eruption for:

- the baseline simulation: trying to reproduce the event as realistically as possible

- the 10 resonance simulations (_r_): trying to derive the speed of the Lamb waves which will generate the maximum resonance (i.e., Proudman resonance) in the ocean basins by dividing the baseline speed by r = 1.25, 1.40, 1.50, 1.60, 1.65, 1.75, 2.00, 3.00, 4.00, 5.00. The full Proudman resonance was obtained for r = 1.50

- the amplification simulation (_amp_): trying to match the Proudman resonance amplification by multiplying by 10 the Lamb waves amplitudes
