Web version of the historical tsunami database for the Pacific region. (English) Zbl 1009.86001

Summary: The paper describes the results of applications of the “client-server” technology for development of a web-version of the historical tsunami database for the Pacific. The database consists of three parts: (i) a catalog of 1447 tsunami events in the Pacific provided, when possible, with their basic source parameters occurring in the Pacific from 47 B.C. to the present time; (ii) a catalog of 8000 observed or measured run-up heights at the coast provided with geographical coordinates; and (iii) supplementary data, such as narrative descriptions and photos of tsunamis, catalogs of active tectonic faults and volcanoes, a list of mareographical stations, etc. The system is platform independent and provides remote access, which can be used for data processing.
