“…The primary modification in the Alaska GI-T model is the method used for wetting/drying (Nicolsky et al, 2011). Currently, the Alaska GI-T model is used to predict propagation and runup of hypothetical tsunamis along the Alaska shore (Suleimani et al, 2013;Nicolsky et al, 2015).…”

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.
