| Zusammenfassung |
| The 2004 Sumatra tsunami propagated throughout the World Ocean and was
clearly recorded by tide gauges on the Atlantic coast of South America. A
total of 17 tsunami records were found and subsequently examined for this
region. Tsunami wave heights and arrival times are generally consistent with
numerical modeling results. Maximum wave heights of more than 1.2 m were
observed on the coasts of Uruguay and southeastern Brazil. Marked
differences in tsunami height from pairs of closely located tide gauge sites
on the coast of Argentina illustrate the importance that local topographic
resonance effects can have on the observed wave response. Findings reveal
that, outside the Indian Ocean, the highest waves were recorded in the South
Atlantic and not in the Pacific as has been previously suggested. |
