Tsunami Modeling: Examples of the use of the MOST model

Objectives: Use numerical models and analyses of observed tsunamis to develop faster and more reliable forecasts of tsunamis striking coastal communities.

Trans-Pacific Propagation

The June 10, 1996 Andreanov tsunami was simulated as a test of the MOST propagation model.
