U.S.-China Cooperative Research: Investigation of Tsunami Runup in China

小行星9731222 该研究项目代表了美国和中国研究人员的共同努力，旨在建立中国的海啸建模和减灾能力。 美国研究人员开发的一个数值模型将用于研究太平洋地震边缘产生的远程海啸对中国沿海的影响。 将审查大陆架和近海岛链的影响。 通过这样做，还将建立一个中国沿海沿着水深和地形数据库，供国际研究界使用。 第二个研究课题是对1992年海南岛海啸的研究。 由于该事件有5个验潮站记录，因此，这是检验确定震源区地震参数的水动力反演算法的理想情况。 私家侦探拟议研究项目的负责人是菲利普教授。刘，康奈尔大学土木与环境工程学院。 一名半工半读的研究生将协助该项目。 中国调查人员是中国国家海洋环境预报中心的于福江先生和叶琳女士。 研究时间为24个月。

9731222 Liu The proposed research project represents a joint effort by U.S. and Chinese researchers to establish the tsunami modeling and mitigation capablility in China. A numerical model developed by the U.S. investigator will be used to investigate the impact of tele-tsunamis generated in the Pacific seismic rim on the China coast. The effects of the continental shelf and the offshore island chain will be examined. By so doing, a database for bathymetry and topography along the China coast will also be established and will be available to the international research community. The second task of the poposed reseach project is to study the 1992 Hainan island tsunami. Since there are five tidal gage records available for the event, it is an ideal situation to test the hydrodynamic inverse algorithm for determining the seismic parameters in the source region. The P.I. of the proposed research project is Professor Phillip L.F. Liu, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University. A half-time graduate student will assist on the project. The Chinese investigators are Mr. Yu Fujiang and Ms. Ye Lin of the National Marine Environmental Forecast Center of China. The duration of the research is 24 months.
