Key information extracted from original GTS message :

Evaluation Watch

Sea level readings indicate a TSUNAMI was generated
Observations and models indicate that no more TSUNAMI waves are expected
When no major waves are observed for two hours after the estimated time of arrival or damaging waves have not occurred for at least two hours then local authorities can assume the threat is passed
Danger to boats and coastal structures can continue for several hours due to the continuing sea level changes and rapid currents
As local conditions can cause a wide variation in TSUNAMI wave action the all clear determination must be made by local authorities

Sea level readings indicate a TSUNAMI was generated
This TSUNAMI can strike coastlines with a wave height greather than 0.5m and/or cause a TSUNAMI run-up greater than 1m
This center will continue to monitor sea level gauges nearest the region and report if any additional TSUNAMI wave activity is observed
Authorities should take appropriate action in response to this possibility
A TSUNAMI is a series of waves and the forst wave MAY not be the largest
TSUNAMI wave heights cannot be predicted and can vary significantly along a coast due to local effects
The time from one TSUNAMI wave to the next can be five minutes to an hour and the threat can continue for many hours as multiple waves arrive

Key information extracted from original GTS message :

Evaluation Watch

Sea level readings indicate a TSUNAMI was generated
This TSUNAMI can strike coastlines with a wave height greater than 0.5m and/or cause a TSUNAMI run-up greater than 1m
This center will continue to monitor sea level gauges nearest the region and report if any additional TSUNAMI wave activity is observed
Authorities should take appropriate action in response to this possibility
A TSUNAMI is a series of waves and the first wave MAY not be the largest
TSUNAMI wave heights cannot be predicted and can vary significantly along a coast due to local effects
The time from one TSUNAMI wave to the next can be five minutes to an hour and the threat can continue for many hours as multiple waves arrive

Tsunami Observations

The following are tsunami wave observations from coastal and/or deep-ocean sea level gauges at the indicated locations the maximum tsunami height is measured with respect to the normal tide level

2020-05-02 13:05 message from KOERI link

Key information extracted from original GTS message :

Evaluation Advisory

It is not known that a TSUNAMI was generated
This message is based only on the earthquake evaluation
an earthquake of this size has the potential to generate a TSUNAMI that can strike coastlines with a wave height less than 0.5m and/or cause a TSUNAMI run-up less than 1m
Authorities should take appropriate action in response to this possibility
This center will monitor sea level data from gauges near the earthquake to determine if a TSUNAMI was generated and estimate the severity of the threat
A TSUNAMI is a series of waves and the first wave MAY not be the largest
TSUNAMI wave heights cannot be predicted and can vary significantly along a coast due to local effects
The time from one TSUNAMI wave to the next can be five minutes to an hour and the threat can continue for many hours as multiple waves arrive
Evaluation of TSUNAMI information based on historical earthquake and TSUNAMI modelling no TSUNAMI generation is expected that can cause damage or major effect in the region
However the possibility of a TSUNAMI generation such as due to submarine landslides can not be excluded
Koeri will continue to monitor sea level readings and MAY issue further messages if required

BASED ON HISTORICAL EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMI MODELLING NO TSUNAMI GENERATION IS EXPECTED THAT CAN CAUSE DAMAGE OR MAJOR EFFECT IN THE REGION. HOWEVER, THE POSSIBILITY OF A TSUNAMI GENERATION, SUCH AS DUE TO SUBMARINE LANDSLIDES, CAN NOT BE EXCLUDED. KOERI WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR SEA LEVEL READINGS AND MAY ISSUE FURTHER MESSAGES IF REQUIRED.

ESTIMATED INITIAL TSUNAMI WAVE ARRIVAL TIMES AT FORECAST POINTS WITHIN THE MONITORING AREA ARE GIVEN BELOW. ACTUAL ARRIVAL TIMES MAY DIFFER AND THE INITIAL WAVE MAY NOT BE THE LARGEST. A TSUNAMI IS A SERIES OF WAVES AND THE TIME BETWEEN SUCCESSIVE WAVES CAN BE FIVE MINUTES TO ONE HOUR.

Key information extracted from original GTS message :

Evaluation Advisory

It is not known that a TSUNAMI was generated
This watch is based only on the earthquake evaluation
an earthquake of this size has the potential to generate a TSUNAMI that can strike coastlines with a wave height less than 0.5m and/or cause a TSUNAMI run-up less than 1m
Authorities should take appropriate action in response to this possibility
This center will monitor sea level data from gauges near the earthquake to determine if a TSUNAMI was generated and estimate the severity of the threat
A TSUNAMI is a series of waves and the first wave MAY not be the largest
TSUNAMI wave heights cannot be predicted and can vary significantly along a coast due to local effects
The time from one TSUNAMI wave to the next can be five minutes to an hour and the threat can continue for many hours as multiple waves arrive
