03/11/2011 Tohoku tsunami measurements at Aleutian DART station 46408 are converted into the wave time history
at Alaskan DART 46410, NEPTUNE sensor CORK (offshore Vancouver Island, Canada), and West Coast DARTs 46404, 46407,
and 46411, 3-4.6 hr before the tsunami arrival at these stations. BLACK - measurements, de-tided; RED - prediction deduced from 46408 record. Implication: tsunamis originating in north-west Pacific (Japan, Kuril) can be predicted on the U. S. West Coast directly by their record at DART 46408 mid-way through their path, 5 hr ahead of the wave arrival at coastal sites, without knowing the tsunami source function   -   subject to further research. Funding is sought to carry out this study. |
