| Zusammenfassung |
| The 1867 Virgin Island Tsunami reached
large magnitude on the coasts of the Caribbean Islands. A maximum tsunami
height of 10 m was reported for two coastal locations (Deshaies and
Sainte-Rose) in Guadeloupe. Modelling of the 1867 tsunami is performed in
the framework of the nonlinear shallow-water theory. The directivity of
the tsunami wave source in the Caribbean Sea according to the assumed
initial waveform is investigated. The tsunami records at the several
coastal regions in the Lesser Antilles, Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and
South America are simulated. The comparison between the computed and
observed data is in reasonable agreement. |
