How Does Tsunami Detection Fit into an End-to-End Tsunami Warning System?

چکیده
A tsunami warning center must be able to process and analyze seismic and sea level data to detect the occurrence of a tsunami and forecast its impact (Figure 5-1). National Tsunami Warning Centers (NTWC) and Regional Tsunami Watch Providers (RTWP) require a variety of hardware, software, computer applications and programs, and communication capabilities to support and maintain tsunami detection and prediction capacity. Maintenance programs and backup capacity are also needed for each center. This chapter should be read by persons who need to understand the types of hardware and software that are necessary for a warning center to function, and the importance of comprehensive maintenance programs and backup plans.

Tsunami warning system using of IoT
Abstract Today, the world has reached a new nature with advances in science. The Internet of Things is a technology that can connect all objects in different fields through the Internet. Any unforeseen event that destroys economic, social and physical capabilities and inflicts human and financial losses is known as a natural disaster, such as a tsunami. IoT-based tsunami forecasting system ...
متن کاملAn Enhanced SAR-Based Tsunami Detection System
Tsunami early detection and warning systems have proved to be of ultimate importance, especially after the destructive tsunami that hit Japan in March 2012. Such systems are crucial to inform the authorities of any risk of a tsunami and of the degree of its danger in order to make the right decision and notify the public of the actions they need to take to save their lives. The purpose of this ...
متن کاملCost-Effective, Cognitive Undersea Network for Timely and Reliable Near-Field Tsunami Warning
The focus of this paper is on developing an early detection and warning system for near-field tsunami to mitigate its impact on communities at risk. This a challenging task, given the stringent reliability and timeliness requirements, the development of such an infrastructure entails. To address this challenge, we propose a hybrid infrastructure, which combines cheap but unreliable undersea sen...
متن کاملDevelopment of tsunami early warning systems and future challenges
Fostered by and embedded in the general development of information and communications technology (ICT), the evolution of tsunami warning systems (TWS) shows a significant development from seismic-centred to multisensor system architectures using additional sensors (e.g. tide gauges and buoys) for the detection of tsunami waves in the ocean. Currently, the beginning implementation of regional ts...
متن کاملConcept study of radar sensors for near-field tsunami early warning
Off-shore detection of tsunami waves is a critical component of an effective tsunami early warning system (TEWS). Even more critical is the off-shore detection of local tsunamis, namely tsunamis that strike coastal areas within minutes after generation. In this paper we propose new concepts for near-field tsunami early detection, based on innovative and up-to-date microwave remote sensing techn...
