Propagation through the Hawaiian Islands.
The animations display qualitative information about the
tsunami propagation including tsunami wave interaction with ocean floor
bathymetric features, and neighboring coastlines. The tsunami radiation pattern is indicated with color coded information
about the maximum wave height at different locations throughout the Pacific
Ocean.
The timer and moving yellow squares indicate
time elapsed since time of the earthquake, providing an estimate of
tsunami arrival time at different locations.
