2009 AGU Fall Meeting S33D. Research and Development in Nuclear Explosion Monitoring II Problem and earlier work Rapid tsunami assessment are critical for rapid alerts and intervention. P-waves can provide very first information on earthquake size and tsunami potential Tsunami Warning centers, depending whether local or regional, rely on earthquake location and magnitude and on pre- determined tsunami scenarios for early warning Effective regional warning requires assessment in < 15’ Mwp (Tsuboi et al., 1995) is the quickest methodology at teleseismic distances to determine earthquake size but Accurate up to Mw~7.5 Underestimates Mw>7.5 and tsunami earthquakes because it does not account for long duration ruptures (i.e., later pulses on the waveforms indicative of source duration) Rapid tsunami assessment are critical for rapid alerts and intervention.

2009 AGU Fall Meeting S33D. Research and Development in Nuclear Explosion Monitoring II The duration-amplitude procedure produces rapidly an earthquake moment magnitude Mwpd from P-wave recordings at teleseismic distances (30-90º) Mwpd available within < 20 minutes after OT. For large earthquakes Mwpd (with moment scaling) matches MwCMT typically within ±0.2 magnitude units. Mwpd does not exhibit saturation for the largest events. Mwpd equals or is better than other procedures for rapid moment magnitude determination. Duration, T0, seems to be a robust indicator for tsunamigenic earthquakes (i.e., T0 ≥ 50 s) The Duration-Exceedance proxy to T0, produces rapid estimates (5-10 minutes) for tsunamigenic earthquakes From Lomax and Michelini, 2009a
