Modified Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation for tsunami over irregular seabed

We derive an asymptotic equation governing the trans-ocean propagation of tsunami from source to the continental shelf. Focus is on disturbances originated from a slender fault of finite length. The variable sea depth is assumed to consist of a slowly varying mean and random fluctuations. The method...
