| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Tsunami traveltime delays up to 15 min relative to the simulated long waves from the 2010 Chilean and 2011 Tohoku-Oki earthquakes were observed. Small negative phases before the main peak were found at distant locations. Measured tsunami phase velocities show reverse dispersions at periods beyond 1000 s and are consistent with a tsunami mode coupled with a self-gravitating elastic Earth, suggesting that the effects of compressible seawater, elastic sea-bottom deformation, and gravity variations during tsunami propagation are responsible for the traveltime delays and the initial negative phases. A new method to simulate tsunami waveforms on real ocean bathymetry that takes into account the three effects was developed. The simulated waveforms reproduce the observed waveforms, including a small negative phase at distant locations. The traveltime difference between the observed and simulated waveforms has decreased to less than 5 min and the waveform difference remarkably diminishes.
