AN OCEAN DEPTH-CORRECTION METHOD FOR REDUCING MODEL ERRORS IN TSUNAMI TRAVEL TIME: APPLICATION TO THE 2010 CHILE AND 2011 TOHOKU TSUNAMIS
In this paper, we attempt to reduce the discrepancies between the modeled and observed tsunami arrival times. We treat the ocean as a homogenous fluid, ignoring stratification due to compressibility and variations of temperature and salinity. The phase speed of surface gravity waves is reduced for a...
