Description

An assessment is made for tsunami hazards along the New Zealand coast by searching for long-wave resonances for the range of periods spanned by tsunami and short-period storm surges. To accomplish this, a high-resolution model of the southwest Pacific is used to simulate the effects of these waves in an oceanic domain extending over 40° in latitude and 50° in longitude. This paper describes the results of such a simulation for waves with a period in the range of 15 to 300 minutes. The locatio...
