Tsunami in history in the South China Sea （許明光、李啟彤）

  • 1781 年（清乾隆 46 年） 5 月 , 高雄

「忽海水暴吼如雷，巨浪排空，水漲數十丈，近村 人居被淹，皆攀援而上至尾，自分必死，不數刻， 水暴退，人在竹上搖曳呼救 … 。 間有牧地甚廣及附 近田園句壑，悉是魚蝦，撥刺跳躍，十里內村民提 … 籃契筒，往爭取焉。 漁者乘筏從竹上過，遠望其 家已成巨浸，至水汐時，茅屋數椽，已無有矣。」

  • Taiwan should be prepared for

tsunamis from the SCS

  • Tsunamis have very high impact, but

tsunami incidents are very rare.

  • Studies of small incidents, such as

the tsunami induced by the 2006 Ping-dong earthquake, are very important because these studies can increase our understanding of tsunami features.

Arrival time will lag dramatically if edge waves are generated

  • One of the most important features

in tsunami propagation is the generation of edge waves.

  • The arrival time of a tsunami will lag

dramatically if edge waves are generated

  • An edge wave might arrive

unexpectedly several hours after the first tsunami waves have subsided

Examples for Edge Wave Tsunami

  • The arrival time of the Kamchatka tsunami

in 1952 were found to be twice longer for some places.

  • Similar phenomena had been observed in

the Iturup tsunami in 1963

  • More recently, the 25 April 1992 Cape

Mendocino earthquake generated a Stokes edge wave and the largest tsunami wave arrived almost 3 hours after the first wave.

  • This indicates that an edge wave might

arrive unexpectedly several hours after the first tsunami waves have subsided

Why the generation of edge wave is important? (II)

  • Besides the propagation time, a

tsunami in edge wave form can destroy a building with weak side walls even if the wall facing the sea is very solid and the same building can usually survive a direct tsunami

  • f similar wave height.

From the velocity-elevation relation, we can identify a Stokes edge wave

The Mw 6.9 Ping-tong earthquake occurred at 20:26 local time, December 26, 2006, with epicenter (21.81°N 120.52°E)

  • As part of a monitoring system, an Acoustic Wave and

Current Profile (AWCP) system is deployed near the Kaohsiung Harbor at a water depth of 18 meters

  • Both pressure and flow velocities are recorded twice a

second for 1024 seconds (17 min) in each hour

slide-13

South China Sea Tsunami Workshop 2008

Traditionally, edge waves are measured along a straight coast with some 20 instruments to find the wavenumber in the dispersion relation

slide-14
SLIDE 14

South China Sea Tsunami Workshop 2008

If waves are generated far away along the coast, their direction is easy to determine Although reflection of the shoreline is possible, these waves are basically progressive.

Tsunami Simulation by COMCOT

  • Assuming a rigidity of 3.3×1011dyn

cm-2, the fault length, width and slip are inferred from the seismic moment through scaling laws (Geller, 1976).

  • Together with parameters from the

Harvard CMT Catalog such as centroid depth and fault geometry described by strike, dip, and rake

slide-21

The numerical simulation demonstrates that edge waves are not generated from the beginning. At first, the propagation speed is very quick because the deep water depths near the epicenter.

Then the tsunami wave incident obliquely to the coast and some energy is trapped. According to Fig. 9(b), the edge wave is trapped at two places: the coast near (120 。 E, 22.4 。 N) and the coast near Kaohsiung.

For waves of period 50-130 sec, amplitude power does not change after the tsunami except for 21:10-21:27 PM

Estimate the arrival time to find out where the edge wave is generated

  • The average bottom slope along the

southwest coast of Taiwan is estimated

  • The average bottom slope from KH to

DG is 1/140, from DG to FS is 1/150, from FS to SGZ is 1/70

  • Hence the arrival time of edge waves

can be estimated

Future Works

  • Analyzing field measurement at other

stations

  • Analyzing the simulated flow field
slide-42

Conclusion

  • Edge wave is a significant

component of the tsunamis generated by the Ping-tong earthquake

  • The southwestern Taiwan should be

prepared for both direct tsunami and edge wave tsunami components in a future tsunami

More Discussions

  • The present flow-pressure approach needs
  • nly a single instrument and hence makes

it much easier and cheaper to measure trapped tsunami waves. Extension of the present approach, therefore, will greatly improve the availability of information about trapped tsunamis.

  • To analyze a tsunami by HHT, we can

choose the period of time when the tsunami dominates the infragravity wave field so that the analysis is not contaminated by infragravity waves not related to the tsunami.

slide-44
SLIDE 44

South China Sea Tsunami Workshop 2008

Limitation of the method

  • The flow-pressure approach assumes
  • nly one wave mode exists at one
  • time. Therefore, if two or more

modes coexist, analyzing the relation between pressure and longshore velocity cannot give useful results. However, this approach provides the best estimate of the oscillation mode, especially when the number of instrument is limited.
