    • Abstract:
      Ringing like a bell An eruption that sets the atmosphere ringing like a bell is one manifestation of the phenomenon that Laplace theorized. But the pressure data after the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa showed in a dramatic way that Laplace was correct and that these Earth-hugging motions can be excited and will propagate over enormous distances.
