Tsunameters work by detecting changes in water pressure caused by a tsunami passing overhead. They consist of a pressure sensor anchored to the seafloor that can measure variations in water level. When a tsunami wave passes over the sensor, it creates a change in water pressure that is recorded and transmitted to a data collection system for analysis and early warning alerts.
