- Based on all available data hazardous TSUNAMI waves are forecast for some coasts
- We are waiting for data from the nearest tide gauge
|
- TSUNAMI waves reaching 1 to 3 meters above the tide level are possible along some coasts of PAPUA NEW guinea.
- TSUNAMI waves are forecast to be less than 0.3 meters above the tide level for the coasts of SOLOMON islands.
- Actual amplitudes at the coast MAY vary from forecast amplitudes due to uncertainties in the forecast and local features. in particular maximum TSUNAMI amplitudes on atolls and at locations with fringing or barrier reefs will likely be much smaller than the forecast indicates.
- For other areas covered by this product a forecast has not yet been computed. the forecast will be expanded if necessary in subsequent products.
