New model provides real-time, more accurate prediction of tsunami wave patterns

On January 15, 2022, the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano in Tonga exploded, releasing large amounts of energy into the atmosphere and ocean, causing tsunamis across the Pacific Ocean. Scientists from the Shocks, Solitons and Turbulence Unit at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) have studied the disturbances in the atmosphere and ocean during this event and developed a model to improve current tsunami early warning systems. Their findings are published in the Journal of Fluid Mechanics.
