    TSUNAMI WARNING SYSTEM

    Tsunami Warning System
    ABSTRACT
     Tsunami is a system of ocean gravity waves formed as a result of large-scale
    disturbance of the sea floor that occurs in a relatively short duration of time.
    The Indian Ocean is likely to be affected by tsunamis generated mainly by
    earthquakes from the two potential source regions, the Andaman-Nicobar-
    Sumatra Island Arc . A state-of-the-art warning center has been established at
    INCOIS with all the necessary computational and communication infrastructure
    that enables reception of real- time data from the network of national and
    international seismic stations, tide gauges and bottom pressure recorders
    (BPRs). The performance of the system was tested on September 12, 2007
    earthquake of magnitude 8.4 off Java coast. The system performed as
    designed. It was possible to generate advisories in time for the administration
    and possible evacuation was avoided.
    Waves
     Caused by wind, sun, and moon
     Do not move water laterally
     Transfer energy laterally
     Water moves in vertical circles
     Speeds of 5 - 60 mph
     Wavelength of 300 - 600 ft
    Tsunami Phenomenon
     A very long wave
     Caused by an underwater earthquake or
    underwater volcanic eruption (epicenter)
     This disturbance has an incredible amount of
    force
     Energy dissipates away from the epicenter
     Speeds of 500 - 600 mph
     Wavelength of 60 – 300 miles
    Tsunami Phenomenon Cont.
     As the wave
    approaches land, it is
    pushed upward
     Principal region is
    Pacific Ocean
     Can occur in the
    Atlantic and Indian
    Ocean
    December 2004 Tsunami
     Earthquake in Indian
    Ocean
     Rupture was ~1000 miles
    long
     Hit India, Thailand,
    Malaysia, Indonesia, many
    Islands, and Africa.
     Killed 200,000+ people
     Displaced 1.6 million
    people
    NOAA and DART Stations
     NOAA - National Oceanic and
    Atmospheric Administrations
     Responsible for providing tsunami warnings
    to the Nation
     DART - Deep-ocean Assessment and
    Reporting of Tsunamis
     Station that detect tsunamis
    DART System
    DART Program
    Objectives
     Build a system based off
    of the DART system that
    accurately detects the
    presence of a simulated
    tsunami
     Simulated tsunami is the
    longest wavelength wave
    that the Hydro Lab can
    create
    Objectives Cont.
     Communicate the presence of a tsunami to a
    communications hub on the surface
     Explore the effect of turbulence on the force that
    arrives on shore
     Use environmental sensors to possibly detect the
    oxygen level of the water, amount of marine life
    activity, or the pH of the water
    Hardware

     3 Keller-America
    Acculevel Pressure
    Sensor

     ES 308 Board
    Software
     Dynamic C
     To determine when the pressure is high
    enough for a tsunami
     Controls communication to the equipment on
    the surface
     Microsoft Excel / Matlab
     Generates plots of Pressure vs. Time
    Current Status
     Built circuit
     Soldered extension cables
     Wrote C code
     Modified BNC Cable to talk to Hydro Lab
    equipment
     Obtained data at 10 different depths to
    calibrate the 3 sensors
    Future Aspirations
     Build case to put in the bottom of the tank
     Obtain and configure communication
    equipment
     Conduct turbulence tests
    ADVANTAGES
     Deeper water pressure produces
    relatively low false position as wind
    driven waves do not generate deep
    pressure differentials
     Good advance warning
    DISADVANTAGES
     More expensive
     High maintenance cost
     Expensive equipments
     Require multiple communication link
    CONCLUSION
     The tsunami warning center senses tsunami
    transits these discrete magnitude values to
    central place via GSM cell phone network and
    uses computer based decision making to
    deliver alert signals to the identified receivers
    placed at different towns and cities for both
    public and government consumption
