Evolution of Pneumatic Tsunami Simulators–From Concept to Proven Experimental Technique
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2021 This paper describes the evolution through three generations of pneumatic Tsunami Simulators for physical model tests of realistic tsunami. The pneumatic method, originally developed for tidal modeling in the Fifties, has been modernized to generate ...

Tsunami Detection Model for Sea Level Measurement Devices
Geosciences, 2022 Sea level measurements are of critical importance in the verification of tsunami generation. When a large earthquake occurs in a subduction zone and the Regional Tsunami Service Providers of UNESCO/IOC issue alerts, sea level measurements are used to ...

Large submarine earthquakes that occurred worldwide in a 1-year period (June 2013 to June 2014) – a contribution to the understanding of tsunamigenic potential [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2015 This paper is a contribution to a better understanding of the tsunamigenic potential of large submarine earthquakes. Here, we analyze the tsunamigenic potential of large earthquakes which have occurred worldwide with magnitudes around Mw = 7.0 and ...

Owen Ridge deep-water submarine landslides: implications for tsunami hazard along the Oman coast [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2013 The recent discovery of voluminous submarine landslides along the Owen Ridge may represent a source of tsunami hazard for the nearby Oman coast. We assess the severity of this potential hazard by performing numerical simulations of tsunami generation and

An Earthquake Source Sensitivity Analysis for Tsunami Propagation in the Eastern Mediterranean [PDF]
Oceanography, 2014 Accurate earthquake source parameters are essential input to tsunami hazard assessment and mitigation, including early warning systems. It is difficult to make accurate assumptions of earthquake source parameters where the tectonic setting is complex. To

Effect of tsunami load induced by earthquake at Manila Trench on transmission tower
Ain Shams Engineering Journal, 2021 The Manila Trench subduction zone is an active convergent plate margin between the South China Sea and northern Philippines. This strongly indicates a high probability for larger earthquakes that could potentially trigger a tsunami in the future and ...

Concept study of radar sensors for near-field tsunami early warning [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2010 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 ...
