| Zusammenfassung |
The tsunami phenomenon is mainly detected in oceanic domains but
it can also occur in small basins as the Adriatic Sea. The presence
of great waves has been recorded a few times in the past centuries
on the Adriatic shorelines, therefore this suggests the idea to evaluate
which could be the maximum amplitude reached by a possible future
tsunami event. In this framework we calculate several synthetic mareograms
applying to the shallow water basin case both the theory of modal summation
by Panza et al. (2000) and the theory of the Green's function
by Yanovskaya et al. (2003). The first is applied to the case of tsunamis generated by an offshore
source, the second to the case of tsunamis generated by an inland source.
Both kinds of tsunamigenic events did already occur in the Adriatic
domain, as witnessed in many catalogues (Caputo and Faita, 1984; Bedosti and Caputo, 1986;
Tinti et al., 2004) and
also pointed out in the recent "Catalogue of reported tsunami events in the Adriatic Sea" (see Appendix).
We calculate synthetic mareograms varying those parameters which are the most
influencing in tsunami generation, such as magnitude, focal depth,
water layer thickness, etc., in order to estimate the expected values
of tsunami maximum amplitude and arrival time, in the whole Adriatic
basin, for the selected scenarios. |
