Progress in Tsunami Forecasting<br />

Dr. Eddie Bernard<br />

Vasily Titov<br />

The strengthening of the U.S. tsunami hazard mitigation program has led to many improvements in<br />

tsunami detection, forecasting, and mitigation activities. Progress on tsunami forecasting will be the<br />

focus of this presentation. Examples of experimental forecast products (tsunami amplitude over time<br />

forecasts) from the March 2006 Tonga, the November 15, 2006 Kurile, and the January 12, 2007 Kurile<br />

tsunamis will be presented to illustrate the capability of the forecasting methodology. The forecast<br />

products will be compared with tide data to quantify the accuracy of the forecast technology.<br />
