Tsunamographs are anchored, ocean-bottom apparatuses developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and used as part of the Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis system to measure and categorize tsunamis. The ocean-bottom apparatus recognizes and reports changes in pressure that occur when water levels change, and then transmit a signal to bouys which measure wave height and transmit all of that information to satellites. This information is used to track and forecast the progress of tsunami waves, which can then help categorize the strength and speed of each tsunami.
