This second edition reflects significant progress in tsunami research, monitoring
and mitigation within the last decade. Primarily meant to summarize the state-of-the-art
knowledge on physics of tsunamis, it describes up-to-date models of tsunamis generated
by a submarine earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption, meteorite impact, and moving
atmospheric pressure inhomogeneities. Models of tsunami propagation and run-up are
also discussed. The book investigates methods of tsunami monitoring including coastal
mareographs, deep-water pressure gauges, GPS buoys, satellite altimetry, the study
of ionospheric disturbances caused by tsunamis and the study of paleotsunamis. Non-linear
phenomena in tsunami source and manifestations of water compressibility are discussed
in the context of their contribution to the wave amplitude and energy. The practical
method of calculating the initial elevation on a water surface at a seismotectonic
tsunami source is expounded. Potential and eddy traces of a tsunamigenic earthquake
in the ocean are examined in terms of their applicability to tsunami warning. The
first edition of this book was published in 2009. Since then, a few catastrophic events
occurred, including the 2011 Tohoku tsunami, which is well known all over the world.
The book is intended for researchers, students and specialists in oceanography, geophysics,
seismology, hydro-acoustics, geology, and geomorphology, including the engineering
and insurance industries
