Abstract

Remote sensing technology has changed the way disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis are detected, monitored, and mapped in recent years. This paper summarizes the general theoretical study of Tsunami generation, propagation, and its inundation for deep, intermediate, and coastal waters. Tsunami is a Japanese word, which is made up of two words: “tsu” means harbor, and “nami” means waves. It means that Tsunami is the coastal gravity waves, which propagate close to the coastline. This analysis presents a novel method to explore the effects of tsunami waves on coastal areas. The methodology includes remote sensing nearness examinations and alteration identification strategies in remote sensing to outline a number of support routes along the coast and divide them into four homogenous sub-regions. The adjustments in the land spread are then measured in these sub-regions when the tidal wave occurs. The proposed paper gives a more solid and exact method than ordinary strategies to assess spatial examples of harmful territories through various land qualities along the coastline. The generative phase of tsunami development comprises the creation of an early disruption at the surface of the ocean due to the earthquake-generated distortion on the seafloor. Various comparative studies are also carried out using spatial technology to examine tsunami routes around the globe, taking into account the most recent tsunami occurrences.

Highlights

  • Tsunamis are long waves, which have wavelengths order magnitude up to 10km and amplitude order of 1m in Ocean, where the travel velocity is of 700-800km/hour. (Arii et al 2014)

  • Tsunami waves are similar to normal waves that propagate close to the surface

  • In 1979, experts suggested that radars can be used to distinguish tsunamis based on their orbital wave speed as they approached the coast

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Tsunamis are long waves, which have wavelengths order magnitude up to 10km and amplitude order of 1m in Ocean, where the travel velocity is of 700-800km/hour. (Arii et al 2014). The geostrophic surface current streamlining for the Indian coastline region is shown in Fig. 2 (Dean & Dalrymple 1984). In 1979, experts suggested that radars can be used to distinguish tsunamis based on their orbital wave speed as they approached the coast. Numerous HF radars around the Pacific Rim with clear outcomes saw the Japan tidal wave signal from locations in Japan, the USA, and Chile. Over 350 HF radar sites located along the coast provide a consistent estimate of surface momentum speeds and waves. The basic model of tidal wave location programming can provide a warning before the wave reaches the coast
