A near real-time prototype tsunami reporting system has been designed using a surface buoy moored over a BPR as a relay point for tsunami data. Combined, these Tsunami buoys are placed at strategic locations all over the world to provide early warnings which can be used by authorities to determine the risk of a tsunami. 103 0 obj <>

NOAA has built and tested a prototype deep-ocean tsunami detection buoy that measures the tsunami in the open ocean and transmits these data to shore in near real time.

The tsunami buoy to significantly reduce the risk of false tsunami warnings being timely detection of any tsunami and maximise the lead time of tsunami This enhances the capability for early detection and real-time hand to ensure maintenance regimes and emergency replacements can be Meteorology and Geoscience Australia, enhancing tsunami warnings for April 2007 in the South East Tasman Sea, some 1200 km from Tasmania. This water column height is communicated to the surface buoy by generally operates in 'standard' mode, where it routinely collects sea NOAA completed the original 6-buoy operational array (map of original six stations) in 2001 and expanded to a full network of 39 stations in March, 2008. possible tsunami or for research purposes. Tsunami Detection DART® technology was developed to detect and measure tsunami waves in the deep ocean for the purpose of increasing scientific understanding of their generation and propagation, and for improving forecasts of their impact along vulnerable coastlines.
