Runup from Impact Tsunami
Tsunami generated by the impacts of asteroids or comets are widely recognized as a potential hazard (Hills et al 1994, in Hazards Due to Comets and Asteroids ed. T. Gehrels, Chapman and Morrison 1994 Nature 367, 33, Ward and Asphaug 2000, Icarus, 145, 64, Atkinson et al. 2000, Report of the UK Task Force on potentially hazardous NEOs, Chesley and Ward 2003, J. Geophys. Res., submitted). The glo...
متن کاملPower-law Scaling and Probabilistic Forecasting of Tsunami Runup Heights
A power-law scaling relationship describes tsunami runup heights at ten locations in Japan. Knowledge of the scaling law for tsunamis can be the basis for probabilistic forecasting of the size and number of future events and for estimating probabilities of extremely large events. Using tsunami runup data archived by the U.S. National Geophysical Data Center, we study ten locations where the tsu...
متن کاملFault parameters of the 1896 Sanriku Tsunami Earthquake estimated from Tsunami Numerical Modeling
The June 15, 1896 Sanriku earthquake generated devastating tsunamis with the maximum run-up of 25 m and caused the worst tsunami disaster in the history of Japan, despite its moderate surface wave magnitude (Ms=7.2) and weak seismic intensity. This is a typical tsunami earthquake, which generates anomalously larger tsunamis than expected from its seismic waves. Previously proposed mechanisms of...
متن کاملAn analysis of 2004 Sumatra earthquake fault plane mechanisms and Indian Ocean tsunami
The 2004 Sumatra earthquake and the associated tsunamis are one of the most devastating natural disasters in the last century. Several fault plane models have been suggested to represent the rupture mechanism of the earthquake. During this tsunami event, two satellites flew over Bay of Bengal and provided measurements for sea surface elevation with accuracy better than 4.2 cm. The satellite dat...
متن کاملNumerical methods for a reliable prediction of water wave phenomena : uncertainty quantification for tsunami runup
Aim of this study is to present robust numerical methods for shallow water equations permitting to correctly predict long water-wave phenomena. A semi-intrusive and polynomialchaos based method are coupled with a residual based distribution scheme by considering several sources of uncertainties in the simulation of a long wave runup on a conical island. Stochastic results are assessed by compar...
