Physics of tsunamis[electronic resource] /by Boris W. Levin, Mikhail A. Nosov. - 2nd ed. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2016. - xiii, 388 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

Introduction -- Preface to the 2-end edition -- General Information on Tsunami Waves, Seaquakes and Other Catastrophic Phenomena in the Ocean -- Physical Processes at the Source of a Tsunami of Seismotectonic Origin Source of a Tsunami of Seismotectonic Origin -- Hydrodynamic Processes at the Source of a Tsunami of Seismotectonic Origin: Incompressible Ocean Role of the Compressibility of Water and of Nonlinear Effects in the Formation of Tsunami Waves -- Role of the Compressibility of Water and of Nonlinear Effects in the Formation of Tsunami Waves -- The Physics of Tsunami Formation by Sources of Nonseismic Origin -- Propagation of a Tsunami in the Ocean and its Interaction with the Coast -- Methods of Tsunami Wave Registration.

This second edition reflects significant progress in tsunami research, monitoring and mitigation within the last decade. Primarily meant to summarize the state-of-the-art knowledge on physics of tsunamis, it describes up-to-date models of tsunamis generated by a submarine earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption, meteorite impact, and moving atmospheric pressure inhomogeneities. Models of tsunami propagation and run-up are also discussed. The book investigates methods of tsunami monitoring including coastal mareographs, deep-water pressure gauges, GPS buoys, satellite altimetry, the study of ionospheric disturbances caused by tsunamis and the study of paleotsunamis. Non-linear phenomena in tsunami source and manifestations of water compressibility are discussed in the context of their contribution to the wave amplitude and energy. The practical method of calculating the initial elevation on a water surface at a seismotectonic tsunami source is expounded. Potential and eddy traces of a tsunamigenic earthquake in the ocean are examined in terms of their applicability to tsunami warning. The first edition of this book was published in 2009. Since then, a few catastrophic events occurred, including the 2011 Tohoku tsunami, which is well known all over the world. The book is intended for researchers, students and specialists in oceanography, geophysics, seismology, hydro-acoustics, geology, and geomorphology, including the engineering and insurance industries.
