Rapid forecasting of tsunami runup heights from 2-D numerical simulations
We propose a method to compute tsunami runup heights that is based on an integration of numerical, 2-D shallow-water modelling and an analytical, 1-D long-wave runup theory. This approach provides a faster forecast of tsunami runup heights than a complicated coastal inundation model. Through simulations of potential tsunami scenarios, this approach can also be applied to long-term tsunami predi...
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 کاملRunup 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 کاملEstimation of Runup Heights of the 2011 off the Pacific Coast of Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami Based on Numerical Simulations
A strong earthquake (M9.0) occurred at 14 h 46 m (JST) on March 11, 2011 in the Pacific Ocean east of the Tohoku district in the northeast part of Honshu Island, Japan. The earthquake was accompanied by a large tsunami. The main goal of this study is to use numerical modelling to reproduce the observed characteristics of the 2011 tsunami. First, the water elevation records of DART buoys, coasta...
متن کاملRapid forecast of tsunami wave heights from a database of pre-computed simulations, and application during the 2011 Tohoku tsunami in French Polynesia
[1] We present a method for the rapid estimation of tsunami wave heights, either in the deep Pacific Basin, or at specific shore locations. It uses a database of 260 pre-computed scenarios of generic sources distributed along the Pacific trenches, and can provide an estimate of wave heights within minutes of the location of the earthquake and the estimation of its moment. The method is tested a...
