“…In this manner, we'll attempt forecasting the Crescent City harbor in northern California, known for its extreme sensitivity to tsunamis (Wilson et al, 2013;Xing et al, 2013). Figure 18, top panel shows scaled PRFs of the NOAA/NOS tide gage in the harbor to DART 32412 for the origin area of the 2010/10/27 tsunami, computed for a = 0.1 m (a proxy for the linear-limit PRF) and a = 0.5 m. As anticipated, |p 0.1 | ≥ |p 0.5 |, though appreciable difference is observed only 3+ hours after the tsunami arrival.…”

Predicting tsunami impacts at remote coasts largely relies on tsunami en-route measurements in an open ocean. In this work, these measurements are used to generate instant tsunami predictions in deep water and near the coast. The predictions are generated as a response or a combination of responses to one or more tsunameters, with each response obtained as a convolution of real-time tsunameter measurements and a pre-computed Pulse Response Function (PRF). Practical implementation of this method requires tables of PRFs in a 3D parameter space: earthquake location -tsunameter -forecasted site. Examples of hindcasting the 2010 Chilean and the 2011 Tohoku-Oki tsunamis along the US West Coast and beyond demonstrated high accuracy of the suggested technology in application to trans-Pacific seismically-generated tsunamis.

“…In California, the 2010 event generated a maximum tsunami amplitude of 1.2 m at Pismo Beach and caused more than $3 million damage to boats and docks in nearly a dozen harbours. The response in Californian harbours was also examined by XING et al (2013). REYMOND et al (2013) describe the effects of the 2010 tsunami in French Polynesia, as well as the timeline of the warning procedures, the information flow in the warning centre and to the local authorities.…”

Abstract-Eighteen papers on past and recent destructive tsunamis are included in Volume II of the PAGEOPH topical issue ''Historical and Recent Catastrophic Tsunamis in the World.'' Three papers discuss deep-sea (DART) and coastal tsunami observations, warning systems and risk management in the Pacific Ocean. Four papers examine the 1755 Lisbon, 1964 Alaska, 2003 Algeria, and 2011 Haiti tsunamis. Four more papers, as well as some papers in Volume I, report on various aspects of the 2010 Chile tsunami. Two papers present some results of field survey and modelling investigation of the 2010 Mentawai, Indonesia, tsunami. Three papers report on modelling efforts of tsunami generation by earthquake and landslide, and of tsunami propagation. Finally, two papers discuss hazard assessment using a probabilistic approach.

“…The authors indicated that because tsunami-induced currents were responsible for most of the damage in these two events, modelled current velocity estimates should be incorporated into future forecast products from the warning centres. XING et al (2013) examined the response of three California harbours (Crescent City harbour, Los Angeles/Long Beach Port, and San Diego harbour) to six significant tsunamis (both near-field and far-field) generated between 2005 and 2011. They used a hybrid finite element numerical model in the frequency domain that incorporated effects of wave refraction, diffraction, partial reflection and energy dissipation.…”
