| Outline of Research at the Start |
Data assimilation is a method to combine observation and numerical simulation, and widely used in weather forecast. The data assimilation methods have been recently applied for tsunami forecast in North America and Japan where dense observation networks exist. In my planned study, I proposed a data assimilation method by introducing virtual observation data from neighboring real observations. Based on this method, we will be able to forecast the tsunamis in the Bay of Bengal if an earthquake happens around Sumatra Island.

| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
In the past year, I have been working on tsunami data assimilation for early warning. I successfully conducted a retroactive study of the 2016 Fukushima earthquake. I used 28 S-net pressure gauge records for tsunami data assimilation and forecasted the tsunami waveforms at four tide gauges on the Sanriku coast. The forecast accuracy score is 74% for a time window of 35 min. In addition, I also worked on the optimal deployment of offshore bottom pressure gauges (OBPGs). I proposed an optimal deployment scheme of OBPGs in the South China Sea, aiming at early warning of potential tsunami hazards based on the data assimilation approach. The results indicated that at least three stations are required to cover the coast along southern China to forecast the tsunami in the South China Sea successfully. The next step is to apply tsunami data assimilation to the tsunami generated by the 2022 Tonga volcanic eruption. The S-net and DONET observation will be adopted.
