buoy in indian ocean going nuts

same area, just a bit more north-west of the "usual" place....

Owned and maintained by Thailand Meteorological Department (TMD) in conjunction with National Disaster Warning Center of the Kingdom of Thailand

Maybe a whale bumped it?

A shake off the Aleutians next?

the buoy directly next to it is fine.... no interesting quakes in the area....

probly yet ANOTHER malfunction ;)

They prolly voted Obama.

The location of the buoy showing the anomaly is COMPLETELY WRONG... the buoy is NOT located south-west of Jakarta but WAY more up north.

Between the epicenter of the EQ and the buoy is the entire island of SINGAPORE...... get the maps and buoy locations straight next time BEFORE posting inaccurate videos ;)

This video from the Princeton Global ShakeMovie illustrates the up-and-down velocity of the earthquake. Strong blue waves indicate rapid downward surface movement, while strong red waves indicate strong upward motion. When the waves pass through soft soils (sediments) they slow down and amplify. Waves speed up when they pass through hard rock. The color of the waves oscillates between red and blue indicating alternating up and down motion.

Researchers at Princeton investigate and inform the public about earthquakes worldwide through Global ShakeMovie, an online portal that shows near-real-time visualizations of recent earthquakes worldwide. These visualizations, which are usually live within seven hours of an event, are based on simulations carried out on a large computer cluster in order to provide information that enhances the public knowledge and understanding of earthquakes.
