Tsunami Event Database |
Provides information on the tsunami source including date, time, event location, magnitude
of the phenomenon, maximum wave height, and socio-economic information such as the
total number of fatalities and dollar damage estimates if available. If the tsunami
source was an earthquake or volcanic eruption, it is flagged and linked to the related
database. |

Tsunami Runup Database |
Provides information on locations where tsunami waves were observed by eyewitnesses,
post-tsunami field surveys, tide gauges, or deep ocean sensors. Includes the maximum
wave height, inundation distance, and number of fatalities or dollar damage estimates
at the specific location if available. |

Tsunami Magnitude (Abe) |
Abe defined two different tsunami magnitude amplitudes. His first tsunami magnitude
(1979) is: Mt = logH + B, where H is the maximum single crest or trough amplitude
of the tsunami waves (in meters) and B a constant. The second definition (1981) is:
Mt = logH + alogR + D, where R is the distance in km from the earthquake epicenter
to the tide station along the shortest oceanic path, and a and D are constants. |

Tsunami magnitude (M) is defined by Iida and others (1967) as M = log2h, where "h"
is the maximum runup height of the wave. |

Tsunami intensity is defined by Soloviev and Go (1974) as I = log2(21/2 * h), where
"h" is the maximum runup height of the wave. |

Damage in Millions of Dollars from the Tsunami at this Location |
The value in the Damage column should be multiplied by 1,000,000 to obtain the actual
dollar amount. If an actual number of dollars in damage due to the tsunami is known,
enter a number in this search field. If only a description is available such as "limited",

Description of Damage from the Tsunami at this Location |
For those events not offering a monetary evaluation of damage, the following five-level
scale was used to classify damage (1990 dollars) and was listed in the Damage De column.
If the actual dollar amount of damage was listed, a descriptor was also added for
search purposes. When possible, a rough estimate was made of the dollar amount of
damage based upon the description provided, in order to choose the damage category.
In many cases, only a single descriptive term was available. These terms were converted
to the damage categories based upon the authors apparent use of the term elsewhere.
In the absence of other information, LIMITED is considered synonymous with slight,
minor, and light, SEVERE as synonymous with major, extensive, and heavy, and EXTREME
as synonymous with catastrophic. Note: The descriptive terms relate approximately
to current dollar values. |
