Abstract

Development and improvement of the International Tsunami Monitoring Monitoring System is getting more important after the 2004 Sumatra-Off-Earthquake Tsunami disaster. Till now, tsunami monitoring system has been developed and established based no observation net-work of strong ground motion only. Nevertheless, earthquake vibration data may give us incorrect tsunami forecasting, for the strength of the vibration and the tsunami-wave profile basic design of the future tsunami monitoring system using newly developed GPS buoy system and other coastal and on-site sensors. Method of real-time tsunami data processing system is also introduced.
