New Tsunami Training Modules Completed

The COMET Meteorology Education Program has developed two on-line training modules describing Tsunami Warning Systems and Tsunami Science. The Tsunami Warning System module, which can be completed in approximately 1 to 2 hours, describes the processes involved in anticipating, detecting, and warning for a tsunami by summarizing data collection, modeling, analysis, and alert procedures used at NOAA's Tsunami Warning Centers. The Tsunami Science module, entitled Tsunamis, delves into the science behind tsunami generation, propagation, and inundation.

These fully narrated modules contain numerous graphical data products and photographs, as well as a companion print version. The intended audience includes Weather Forecast Office staff and emergency managers who require a better understanding of the technical aspects of tsunami warning delivery and tsunami science. The content is also appropriate for anyone wanting to learn more about tsunamis and the components of tsunami warning systems. To access this training, please follow these links:
