2 Today s Topic 2 Tsunami Waveform Inversion Which is to guess Tsunami Initial Sea Surface Elevation (SSE) by using Oceanographic Radar Data >>>Background We had 2 problems on 2011 Japan Tsunami 1 Delay of resident s evacuation 2 Delay of rescue activities by governments Causes 1 First guess of Tsunami warning was underestimated 2 Government offices of themselves were largely damaged, took much time to identify extremely damaged area

3 Aim of Research 3 Time duration Earthquake happens Tsunami attack to coast 24 hours time (For evacuation) 1Tsunami detection (For rescue activities) 2Identification of extremely damaged area Estimation of Tsunami Initial SSE We start research from second problem We try to identify extremely damaged area within 24 hours just after earthquake happens For that reason We aim to get Tsunami source information (initial SSE) much accurately by inversion technique

4 Current Tsunami Warning System in Japan 4 Estimate initial SSE (Sea Surface Elevation) from seismic wave information, not observed Tsunami wave itself Seismometer Predict (Tsunami propagation cal) Tsunami source (initial SSE) Sea Surface Elevation Estimate 3 Estimate 1 Sea bottom movement Estimate 2 Dislocation movement >>> Technical Issues <<< It is well known that Tsunami prediction may be underestimated especially for huge earthquake, Tsunami earthquake in case Tsunami initial SSE is disproportioned

5 Previous Studies 5 Tsunami Inversion (with GPS or Coastal wave gauge data) (e.g. Yasuda et al. (JSCE, 2006, 2007), Tatsumi et al. (JSCE, 2008, 2009)) We use time series of wave height data observed by GPS wave gauge or Coastal wave gauge Applying linear long wave theory to Tsunami 1Calculate unit Tsunami 2Calculate unit fault amplitude by least-squares method (minimize error between observed and unit Tsunami) 3 Tsunami Initial SSE is given as Sum of unit fault amplitude Disadvantage of GPS or CGW Installed number is not enough to conduct for Tsunami inversion As for GPS wave gauge, initial and running costs are much higher than those for radar 0km Pacific Ocean GPS wave gauge Coastal wave gauge 500km

6 Our Research 6 Tsunami Inversion (with observed Radar radial velocity) Tsunami current velocities induced by the 2011 Japan Tsunami have been successfully observed by Radars (e.g. Hinata et al. (ECSS, 2011), Lipa et al. (Remote Sensing, 2011), Helzel ( Spatial resolution of Oceanographic Radar is much better compared to those of GPS wave gauge or CWG great advantage for Tsunami Inversion We are trying to develop Tsunami Inversion method using Radar radial velocity 2011/3/11 18:13 50 (cm/s) Inversion by using Radar Tsunami Initial SSE Tsunami source area

7 Procedure of Inversion 7 Applying linear long wave theory to Tsunami motion Calculate unit fault amplitude by least squares method Tsunami Initial SSE is given as Sum of unit fault amplitude *In case, unit response function is water surface p1 1: 2: time, fault unit No. time (1) Divide entire Tsunami source area into some unit fault pieces Land (3) Carry out unit Tsunami calculation (Get time series of water surface at observation sites, p1, p2 pn) Tsunami source area (2) Give 1m water surface rise to each unit faults Shore line pn (4) Carry out Inversion (least-squares method) Inversion analysis (least-squares method) Coefficient a (Amplitude) (5) Finally, get Tsunami initial SSE a gives Tsunami initial SSE

8 8 Numerical Experiment (2011 Japan Tsunami)

24 Conclusion and Future Study 24 Through this study... Temporal averaging process largely affects inversion results compared to spatial averaging process Although Variance Reductions decrease due to temporal averaging process, maximum wave heights and their appearance time seem to agree well (As for Radar, it seems necessary to get high resolution data for Tsunami waveform inversion) We would like to evaluate these influences quantitatively We are trying to reveal the mechanism of these influences in terms of Energy Flux and Wave Ray Also we are considering to estimate influences of red / white noise etc.
