Tsunami Early Warning System
Application Guide

We outline the causes of tsunamis and characterise different types of associated seismic activity.

We describe how the measurement of bottom pressure can detect a tsunami offshore to provide sufficient warning to vulnerable coastal communities.

We detail how TEWS integrates MSM and Sonardyne’s complementary technologies to provide a system which is robust and reliable in the harshest of environments.
