Sensitivity Analysis On Relations Between Earthquake Source Rupture Parameters And Far-Field Tsunami Waves: Case Studies In The Eastern Mediterranean Region, Seda Yolsal, Tuncay Taymaz
Turkish Journal of Earth Sciences
We present several sensitivity tests, that were applied to exhibit the effects of earthquake source rupture characteristics on amplitudes, frequency contents and arrival times of earthquake generated tsunami waves in the far field, as case studies in the eastern Mediterranean. The investigated earthquake parameters are principally epicentral location, focal mechanism parameters (strike, dip and rake angles), faulting area dimensions, maximum displacement and focal (centroid) depth. We have implemented a numerical method of TUNAMI-N2 based on non-linear shallow-water theory to obtain synthetic water surface fluctuations at selected pseudo tide gauge locations in the eastern Mediterranean. It has been observed that the …
