State tsunami advisers covet wave-height forecasting system
|
Japan's tsunami scientists now are able to forecast tsunami wave heights in different coastal areas -- a significant advance in warning technology.
"Unfortunately, we do not have that ability in Hawaii," said Daniel A. Walker, Oahu Civil Defense Agency tsunami adviser.
The Japanese development was discussed at a recent symposium here sponsored by the Tsunami Society and attended by specialists from around the world.
Walker said Japan's computer scientists are able to model tsunamis with information on bathymetry -- the ocean's landscape and depth -- and the location and causes of earthquakes.
