Proposed Use of the T Phase in Tsunami Warning Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
A STRIKING correlation between the occurrence of a short-period earthquake phase (T phase) traveling through the ocean with the speed of sound in sea water and the occurrence of tsunamis has been observed. The characteristics of the T phase are described and the data upon which the correlation is based are presented. Although further study is needed, the evidence at hand warrants the inclusion of instruments suitable for recording the T phase in tsunami warning systems. It is quite possible that SOF AR listening stations would be valuable adjuncts in the detection of tsunaini-producing earthquakes since they offer the best means of recording the T phase.

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 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 ...
