| Data on tsunami phenomena occurring in the East Hellenic Arc and Trench system
(HA-T) from antiquity up to the present have been updated, critically
evaluated and compiled in the standard GITEC format developed in the last
decade for the New European Tsunami Catalogue. New field observations are
presented for the tsunamis of 9 February 1948 and 24 March 2002. From the 18
tsunamis reported eight are rather well-documented while another nine remain
doubtful. The mean recurrence of strong tsunamis is likely equal to about
142 years. Most of the tsunamis documented are caused by strong earthquakes
occurring in the area offshore Rhodes to the east or northeast of the
island. However, there are large earthquakes near Rhodes that do not cause
tsunamis, like the 1926 and 1957 ones, which is of particular importance for
the tsunami hazard assessment. |
