  • Tsunami propagation model outputs are snapshots of tsunami amplitude in a modelling domain at a given interval. The modelling domain for tsunami propagation includes the source region and the study area. Tsunami inundation model output show the simulated inland tsunami height and typically only for a limited area that is much smaller than the whole modelling domain. COMCOT is a tsunami simulation model used at GNS and by other parties to obtain tsunami propagation and inundation model output data. To get tsunami propagation model output, either linear or nonlinear shallow water equations can be use and a bathymetry data is needed. While to get tsunami inundation model output, COMCOT should be set to solve the nonlinear shallow water equations, and both topography and bathymetry data should be merged and then used in the simulation. Details of the specific procedures and outputs are usually provided in specific reports or papers for each project. DOI: https://doi.org/10.21420/747H-WJ91 Cite as: GNS Science. (2020).
