我们总结了2004年12月26日可怕的海啸发生后进行的实地调查的一些结果和观察结果，并在本期中报道。所有这些实地调查都是一项前所未有的科学事业，涉及当地和国际科学家并肩工作。12月26日的海啸是自1990年代初开始利用现代测量工具进行全面的震后流体动力学调查以来第一次发生的跨洋影响。海啸直接影响了至少16个国家：印度尼西亚、马来西亚、泰国、缅甸、印度、斯里兰卡、阿曼、索马里、肯尼亚、坦桑尼亚、马达加斯加、马尔代夫、罗德里格斯岛、毛里求斯、留尼汪岛和塞舌尔。死亡人数包括来自亚洲、欧洲、南太平洋和美洲许多其他国家的公民，使这场海啸成为现代第一场普遍的自然灾害。
We summarize some of the findings and observations from the field surveys conducted in the aftermath of the horrific tsunami of 26 December 2004 and reported in this issue. All these field surveys represent an unprecedented scientific undertaking and involved both local and international scientists working side by side. The 26 December tsunami was the first with transoceanic impact, since comprehensive postevent hydrodynamic surveys began to be conducted in the early 1990s with modern measurement tools. The tsunami impacted at least 16 nations directly: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Myanmar, India, Sri Lanka, Oman, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, Madagascar, the Maldives, Rodrigues, Mauritius, Réunion, and the Seychelles. The death toll included citizens from many other countries in Asia, Europe, the South Pacific, and the Americas, giving this tsunami the grim distinction of being the first universal natural disaster of modern times.
