TSUNAMI THREAT EVALUATION BY HISTORICAL DOCUMENTS, NUMERICAL MODEL AND STOCHASTIC MODEL

Shigehisa Nakamura
1986 Coastal Engineering Proceedings  
An evaluation of local tsunami threat was studied first refering to the historical documents and the catalogs. Secondly, an example of a numerical model of a finite difference method was discussed in relation to problems for reproducing the past local tsunamis and predicting a forthcoming tsunami. Lastly, a stochastic model was utilized in order to evaluate an exceedance probability of tsunami occurrencein an interested time period at an interesting local area where the concerened information
