Model and tsunameter/DART® buoy data / tide gauge data comparison

Comparison of the October 27, 2012 Queen Charlotte Island tsunami recorded at tsunameter/DARTs and sea-level gauges with model forecasts. The DART model timeseries are obtained from the pre-computed generation/propagation forecast database in real time, after fitting models to tsunami records from the closest DART (46419).
