A
major tsunami is caused by an earthquake, which
occurs along or near a coast or in ocean area.
Thus, a new approach for detecting a Tsunami and
issuing the Warning System (TWS) is proposed as
under:
1. Establishing an Earthquake Detecting and Tsunami
Warning (ED&TW) Center.
2. Detection of exact location of the epicenter
and magnitude of the earthquake.
3. Automatic computation using a hydro dynamical
algorithm of the amplitude and velocity of the
tsunami originating thereof.
This warning from the ED&TW Center would
be the quickest possible for coordinated preparedness
and management of response from tsunami disaster. |
