Global Telecommunication Service

GTS (Global Telecommunication Service) is the official Warning and Alerting channel by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) adopted by several Warning Organizations. As soon as a new GTS message regarding Tropical Cyclones(WT) or Tsunami(WE) the messages are processed and possibly assigned to the specific event. When a new GTS message is present an new tab in the specific event report page is present.The presence of a GTS message is shown in the homepage with a dedicated icon.

Key information extracted from original GTS message :

Evaluation Advisory

Sea level readings indicate a TSUNAMI was generated
This TSUNAMI can strike coastlines with wave height less than 0.5m and/or cause a TSUNAMI run-up less 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
Evaluation of TSUNAMI information based on historical earthquake and TSUNAMI modelling there is no threat that a TSUNAMI has been generated that can cause damage or major effect in the region
This message is for information only
However at some coasts particularly those near the epicenter higher tsunamis MAY arrive than our estimation
Authorities should be aware of this possibility

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

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
Evaluation of TSUNAMI information based on historical earthquake and TSUNAMI modelling there is no threat that a TSUNAMI has been generated that can cause damage or major effect in the region

Key information extracted from original GTS message :

Evaluation Watch

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 greater than 0.5m and/or cause a TSUNAMI run-up greater 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 WATCH
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 GREATER THAN 0.5M
AND/OR CAUSE A TSUNAMI RUN-UP GREATER 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.

ESTIMATED INITIAL TSUNAMI WAVE ARRIVAL TIMES AT FORECAST POINTS WITHIN THE
WATCH/ADVISORY AREA 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.
