| Research Abstract |
Geoid change by the mass re-distribution caused by the fault model of the 2010 Chilean earthquake is a few cm near the epicenter and not the cause of the large tsunamis. 20 min delay of the 2010 Chilean and the 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquakes tsunami traveltime across the Pacific relative to the predicted time was due to anomalous dispersion of long-period tsunami caused by the compressibility of seawater, the elasticity of the solid earth, and the geo-potential change associated with mass motion during tsunami propagation. The computed tsunami waveform at distant locations taking into account the tsunami velocity reduction at long-period shows good agreement with the observed waveform and the traveltime delay has disappeared.
