[quote:quirk:MV8yMzc1ODc5XzQzNTk5Mzc1XzJGNUY1NkRD] Article from 11/ 19 /2012 Hawaii and Tsunami Warnings: How Can We Do This Better? By Sara Lin 11/19/2012 Courtesy of NOAA's Pacific Marine Environment Lab Every time Hawaii issues a tsunami warning, it's an "all or nothing" evacuation. From Waianae to Hawaii Kai, everyone who lives within a potential tsunami inundation zone heads for the hills — or the other side of the evacuation line, at least. But federal scientists have developed new tsunami forecasting models that can accurately predict where a wave will hit, and where it will flood. They've also designed new buoys that could help the tsunami warning center fill the gaps in its net. So why hasn't Hawaii embraced the new technology? The Oct. 27 tsunami warning threw Hawaii into a panic with just three hours between the evacuation call and when the first wave hit. Now, some say these new technologies are worth a closer look. . . . Predicting Where the Wave Will Hit Tsunami forecasting is a very new technology, one that's come into vogue since the 2004 Indonesian tsunami that killed 230,000. Eight years later, scientists have developed a tsunami flood forecasting model that they've tested on more than 40 events this year alone. "This idea to forecast tsunami flooding has been the holy grail of tsunami research," said Vasily Titov, director of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Center for Tsunami Research. "This idea has been around for years, but the problem is we've never had models accurate enough and never had data. But now we do." With the Oct. 27 tsunami, Titov said the models did what they were supposed to do. "We nailed the amplitudes pretty well before the first tsunami arrived," he said. "But it didn't ease the weight of the decision to evacuate or not evacuate. It was a borderline event, it was difficult to call.". . . http://www.civilbeat.com/articles/2012/11/19/17694-hawaii-and-tsunami-warnings-how-can-we-do-this-better/ [/quote]
