Description
Summary:The tsunami of 26 December 2004 in the Indian Ocean not only propagated throughout the Indian Ocean, albeit with varying amplitudes at different coastlines, but also travelled into the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans via the southern ocean route. In this study, the emphasis is on the far-field characteristics, where the tsunami amplitudes are much smaller than those in the Indian Ocean, and are somewhat devoid of local resonance amplification effects as in the Indian Ocean, where the tsunami was generated.
