Developing tsunami warnings from numerical model output

Allen, S.; Greenslade, D. - In: Natural Hazards 46 (2008) 1, pp. 35-52

A method is introduced for issuing tsunami warnings in the Australian region based on numerical model output. The method considers the maximum modelled wave amplitude within pre-defined coastal waters zones and uses this as a proxy for the potential impact on the coast. A three-level stratified...
