Description

We should always be fully prepared for not only near field tsunami, but also far field tsunami.The characteristics of far field tsunami propagation such as arrival time and maximum water level are estimated by a numerical simulation model with finite difference method which describes the Pacific Ocean and its vicinity. Initial condition is calculated by several fault models systematically supposed around the Pacific rim area. As a results, it is clear that the potential of tsunamis caused around southern Chile area is the highest due to location of disturbance occurrence. Tsunamis caused around the Philippines, Indonesia and Peru have also tendency to damage Japanese coastal region, if momentum magnitude of earthquake is higher than 9.0.Keywords: far field tsunami, tsunami potential, the Pacific rim area, fault model
