| This study present the implementation of a Tsunami Forecast System for Galapagos Islands. This system is formed by the development of short and long term forecast models. The first is used in real time, with the information of the occurrence of a tsunami event in the pacific ocean, in order to predict the physical effects of the impact on islands. While, the long term forecast, is used to identify tsunami generation zones with potential threat to damage the islands and also is used to have a reference to evaluate an particular event. The numerical model used to get both forecasts is MOST (Method of Splitting Tsunamis) with ComMIT methodology (Community Model Interface for Tsunami), wich has been adapted to local conditions. |
