Abstract

In this paper we provide a possible way to face the challenge of the tsunami wave height evaluation in real time after a seismic event. Our scenario is based on 2011 Japan Earthquake, in which case the wave traveling time after the seismic event to the nearest coast was close to 20 min. Three improvements to the existing data processing technique are proposed: sensor network optimization, fast determination of tsunami wave parameters at source, and to accelerate calculation of tsunami wave propagation. By applying these approaches it is possible to reduce the time required for wave height calculation to 12 minutes.
