Tsunami Archive
Tammara Freimark
The NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) and the co-located World Data Service (WDS) for Geophysics compile and archive a comprehensive set of tsunami-related products as part of the NOAA Tsunami Program efforts to support the interests and needs of domestic and international tsunami warning centers, engineers, oceanographers, seismologists, and the general public. The archive includes:
Tsunami deposits, in particular, are valuable in that they are often not systemmatically archived, yet they are the physical evidence that remain along coasts and in submarine sediments after tsunami waves have long dissipated. impact. These deposits can be preserved in the geologic record and are often the basis of scientific debate as to storm versus tsunami origin.
Water Level Data that includes1-minute averaged coastal tide gauge data from the NOAA/NOS Center for Operational Oceanographic Products and Services (CO-OPS), as well as higher-resolution water level data from gauges maintained by each of the tsunami warning centers and from secondary storage internal to individual coastal tide gauges.
Access to 1-minute data is provided at CO-OPS site:
The Tsunami Runup database provides specific information on locations at which tsunami impact was recorded or passed down in stories. Measurement types and uncertainty are all provided either quantitatively or qualitatively.
Information released online from June 2012 to September 2017.

USAID assisted over 580,000 people impacted by the earthquake and tsunami through the delivery of emergency food, hygiene kits, medical aid, and psycho-social assistance. USAID also implemented program that provided cash-for work to clean up and clear damaged infrastructure.
Today, USAID implements projects in the areas of strengthening disaster risk reduction capacity, democratic governance, essential human services, global development, and science, technology and innovation. These are among the many U.S. Government programs under the U.S.-Indonesia Comprehensive Partnership, a 2010 agreement to elevate and deepen ties between the two nations.
The Global Historical Tsunami Database consists of two related files containing information on tsunami events from 2000 B.C. to the present in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans; and the Mediterranean and Caribbean Seas.
This painting, with the Wickaninnish Inn about to engulfed by a giant wave, is imagining the unimaginable that is within the realm of possibility, someday. Or is it any day? Standing on Chesterman Beach, we know it is within the tsunami warning area for the Cascadia Subduction Zone, a "megathrust" fault, which is a 1,000 Km long dipping fault that stretches from Northern Vancouver Island to Cape Mendocino California. We stand there in awe and we say silently to ourselves, not today, please not today..... But what a magnificent last view it would be!

The Times (London) is the world's oldest continuously published newspaper. Readers have turned to the Times for its in-depth news coverage, parliamentary reports and commentary, editorial opinion, and unique view of history from the major reporters and editors of the period. The Times Digital Archive, 1785-2013 allows users to see the complete page of every issue published over parts of four centuries. To facilitate precise searching, each article is assigned to one of twenty-six subcategories within seven main categories, including:
Considering that there are serious fears that the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant could experience a full nuclear meltdown, I don't think the state of Suzuka is high on anyone's list of priorities. If and when the situation stabilises along the coast, then we'll start getting reports about the condition of Suzuka. But right now, I doubt anyone is hurrying to see if the circuit is still intact.
They're only asking on a motorsport forum, but the way they're asking when there are bigger issues at hand makes it seem like they only care about the circuit and the race going ahead. It's like the protests in Bahrain: as soon as the race was cancelled, everyone stopped caring about what was going on. I saw someone asking today why parts that may have been sent to Sakhir would not be getting back to Europe until just now when the race was cancelled weeks ago. Well, that's because the protests kept going well after the race was cancelled.
Right now, there's a hell of a lot of stuff going on in Japan. Fukushima No. 1 is in danger of a meltdown and the surrounding areas have been evacuated. Four passenger trains remain completely unaccounted for. Hundreds of bodies were found on a beach near Sendai. The death toll is expected to surpass one thousand. Buildings have been damaged or destroyed. Phone and internet services have been cut, and the list goes on. Right now, I doubt there are too many people in Japan who are worried about what is happening with Suzuka. So it seems a little cold and in poor taste for people to be asking after it like it's the most important issue at the moment.
The same happened during kubica's accident and asking about new drivers, chill guys I'm hoping the best for Japan but as this is a racing forum I do want to know about suzuka and anything racing related in japan.. it's not a crime and not me being ignorant..
I get that people want to know whether Suzuka is in a raceable condition. But given that the country is still in turmoil, the least they could do is wait until the situation stabilises before asking. Because right now, asking whether the circuit is okay feels a little bit like asking how much inheritance you will receive ten minutes after a family member died.
Suzuka is some 450-500 Miles away from quake center. Suzuka is also some 150-200ft above sea level. No chance of the Tsunami reaching it, and very slim chance of it suffering major quake damage from yesterdays event.
And that should end all questions about Suzuka.
More concerning, motorsport-wise (no need for any more lectures on how it is irrelevant compared to thousands of deaths and possible nuclear chaos, we already are aware of that), is what happens to the circuits in the affected area. And which circuits are in the affected area, people are already mentioning Sugo and Motegi here, the last of which hosts major international events. Is Aida/Okayama in the area? I know back in the 90s a catastrophic earthquake forced the F1 race there to be postponed for several months, so I'm wondering about it.
