“…However, at Hatay station, the time lag of the maximum tsunami height from the initial arrival reaches 40 hr (Figure 1b). As the location of the station is in the narrow semi‐closed Iskenderun Bay, we suppose the long delayed maximum waves may be due to tsunami resonance, a coupling of similar period ranges between the Bay's fundamental natural oscillation and source period band (Hu et al.,
2022; Satake et al.,
2020). We calculate the fundamental oscillation of the Bay based on a semi‐parabolic depth profile with
( H is the water depth at the entrance of the Bay, L is the length of the Bay) (Wilson,
1972), in which we set H of 60–80 m and L of 60–70 km based on the bathymetry data set.…”
