A fast preliminary estimation model for transoceanic tsunami propagation

A simplified one-dimensional method is proposed to estimate the height of the leading wave of transoceanic tsunamis by means of a directivity function applied to the one-dimensional finite difference model based on the shallow water equations. The numerical modeling of the October 4, 1994 Shikotan t...
