All-Source Green's Functions for Fast Responses to Water Level Related Marine Hazards
Zhigang Xu
Maurice Lamontagne Institute
Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada
4:00 p.m., Thursday, September 29, 2011
This talk is to present a new approach in dealing with the challenges. The approach is to use the all-source Green.s function (Xu, 2007; Xu, 2011) to pre-calculate the domain and weights of the dependences (the dependence field) of water level variations at a point of interest. The pre-calculated dependence field makes it possible to immediately forecast the tsunami arrivals, in terms of both times and amplitudes, as soon as a tsunami is triggered in its source region. The pre-calculated dependence field also makes the CFL condition no longer the limiting factor, hence to perform a long term simulation becomes feasible. A dependence field itself can also reveals physics of the ocean dynamic system, independent of external forcing.
