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

拟议的研究项目是美中两国研究人员为在中国建立海啸模拟和减灾能力而共同努力的结果。美国研究人员开发的一种数值模型将用于研究太平洋地震带对中国沿海产生的远程海啸的影响。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的测深和地形数据库，并将提供给国际研究界。提出的研究项目的第二项任务是研究1992年海南岛海啸。由于该事件有5个潮汐计记录，因此在震源区域测试水动力反演算法确定地震参数是一个理想的情况。建议研究项目的私人顾问是康奈尔大学土木与环境工程学院刘立富教授。一名兼职研究生将协助该项目。中方调查人员是中国国家海洋环境预报中心的于福江和叶琳。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.
