Abstract

We investigate the surface gravity and hydro-acoustic wave fields, generated by the 2011 Tohoku-Oki tsunamigenic event using a numerical model based on a computationally efficient depth-integrated equations for a compressible water column coupled to a dissipative sedimentary layers. Spectral analysis of bottom pressure time series obtained in deep water revealed the role of underlying layer on the formation of hydro-acoustic waves and carrying frequency range, damping and trapping behaviors. The presented methodology can enhance the promptness and the accuracy of tsunami early warning systems (TEWS).
