The Global Reach of the 26 December 2004 Sumatra Tsunami

Numerical model simulations, combined with tide-gauge and satellite altimetry data, reveal that wave amplitudes, directionality, and global propagation patterns of the 26 December 2004 Sumatra tsunami were primarily determined by the orientation and intensity of the offshore seismic line source and subsequently by the trapping effect of mid-ocean ridge topographic waveguides.

Tidal Resonance in the Adriatic Sea: Observational Evidence

Journal of Geophysical Research Oceans (2020)

Igor Medvedev Ivica Vilibić Alexander B. Rabinovich

Abstract Tides in the Adriatic Sea are anomalously strong in comparison with most of other parts of the Mediterranean Sea. Consequently, tides play a fundamental role in the hydrodynamics of this sea and in the formation of destructive floods in its northernmost part. The resonant character of the Adriatic tides is evident, but the exact mechanism of their formation has never been thoroughly examined. In the present study, we used multidecadal tide gauge data from 10 stations located along the basin's coastline to examine the spectral properties of the Adriatic Sea and to provide high‐resolution tidal analysis. Our results demonstrate that both diurnal and semidiurnal tidal harmonics are resonantly amplified due to the proximity of tidal periods to the periods of the fundamental (21.5 hr) and first (10.9 hr) Adriatic eigen modes, respectively. The constructed resonance models were found to closely describe specific features of the observed tides in the Adriatic Sea, including both major and minor harmonics, and therefore help to explain the dominant physical mechanism driving the floods in the northernmost part of the basin, including the Venice Lagoon.

Meteotsunamis in the Laurentian Great Lakes

Scientific Reports (2016)

Adam J. Bechle Chin H. Wu David A. R. Kristovich Eric J. Anderson David J. Schwab

The generation mechanism of meteotsunamis, which are meteorologically induced water waves with spatial/temporal characteristics and behavior similar to seismic tsunamis, is poorly understood. We quantify meteotsunamis in terms of seasonality, causes, and occurrence frequency through the analysis of long-term water level records in the Laurentian Great Lakes. The majority of the observed meteotsunamis happen from late-spring to mid-summer and are associated primarily with convective storms. Meteotsunami events of potentially dangerous magnitude (height > 0.3 m) occur an average of 106 times per year throughout the region. These results reveal that meteotsunamis are much more frequent than follow from historic anecdotal reports. Future climate scenarios over the United States show a likely increase in the number of days favorable to severe convective storm formation over the Great Lakes, particularly in the spring season. This would suggest that the convectively associated meteotsunamis in these regions may experience an increase in occurrence frequency or a temporal shift in occurrence to earlier in the warm season. To date, meteotsunamis in the area of the Great Lakes have been an overlooked hazard.
