Tsunami Use Case
• Tsunami modelling and early warning systems for near source
areas (Mediterranean, Juan de Fuca) -> mutual need for
tsunami event field data and modeling to deepen our
experience in testing methodology and developing real-time
data processing
• sensor registry is available from EMSO, form of data/metadata
exposure for CoopEUS is being worked out as OOI interface
develops
Tsunami Use Case
• a working workshop will be held in San Francisco, adjacent to
AGU 2014, involving key people from EMSO, OOI, and ONC
(and possibly other international tsunami experts) to address
the following:
– Sensors: agree on settings; gap analysis of sensor coverage
– Data: compare/harmonise/align sensor metadata, and registries; data
policy and access
– Modeling: collaborative framework for testing already available
algorithms for tsunami detection
