An Efficient Tsunami Arrival Time Estimator Coupled to Acoustic Gravity Wave Multi-Fault Rupture solution

Abstract

The Dijkstra's algorithm is employed to find the shortest paths between the epicenter and all the wet nodes on a global triangular unstructured mesh using the phase speed of surface gravity waves and progressive acoustic modes. The phase speed estimator takes into account the simultaneous effects of the slight compressibility of water, sea-bed elasticity, and static compression of the ocean under gravity, leading to precise calculation of the arrival time [1]. Coupled to a mathematical solution for multi-fault rupture along the transect extracted from the shortest path between the source and destination is then employed to characterize the genesis of the tsunami [2]. The effectiveness of the aforementioned algorithms and distinct arrival time of different the tsunami and its precursor components (acoustic modes) at DART and deep ocean acoustic observations can be used for tsunami early warning systems.
