| Zusammenfassung |
| Catastrophic tsunamis are described in historical sources for all regions
around the Gulf of Cadiz, at least since 60 BC. Most of the known events are
associated with moderate to large earthquakes and among them the better
studied is 1 November 1755. We present here a review of the events which
effects, on the coasts of the Portuguese mainland and Madeira Island, are
well described in historical documents or have been measured by tide gauges
since the installation of these instruments. For a few we include new
relevant information for the assessment of the tsunami generation or effects,
and we discard events that are included in existing compilations but are not
supported by quality historical sources or instrumental records. We quote the
most relevant quantitative descriptions of tsunami effects on the Portuguese
coast, including in all pertinent cases a critical review of the coeval
sources, to establish a homogenous event list. When available, instrumental
information is presented. We complement all this information with a summary
of the conclusions established by paleo-tsunami research. |
