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.

What instruments to predict tsuamis?

Instruments used to predict tsunamis include tide gauges, which measure sea level changes, and buoys equipped with wave sensors that detect variations in ocean surface height. Tsunami warning centers also utilize deep-ocean tsunami detection systems, such as the DART (Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis) buoys, which monitor pressure changes on the ocean floor. Additionally, seismic monitoring networks help identify earthquakes that could generate tsunamis. Together, these tools enable timely warnings to mitigate the impact of tsunamis on coastal communities.
