NEOWAVE Regional Tsunami Model: South Hawaii PMT: Hawaii: Hawaii Island: Punaluu

Listed in NOAA IOOS PacIOOS (Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System) at the University of Hawaii (UH)

Non-hydrostatic Evolution of Ocean WAVEs (NEOWAVE) regional tsunami model for the south-southeast coast of Hawaii Island in the State of Hawaii, stretching from beyond Nalehu and Whittington Beach Park in the south to the southern reaches of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park in the north and including Punaluu Beach.

Description

Provides a nearshore hazard map of inundation based on the South Hawaii Probable Maximum Tsunami (PMT) scenario.

Data are gridded at approximately 30-m resolution referenced to the WGS84 coordinate system and use a vertical datum of mean sea level (MSL). This shock-capturing, dispersive wave model computes tsunami generation, propagation, and inundation for complex flow patterns in shelf and reef environments. It has been validated with analytical, laboratory, and field benchmarks and is approved by the National Tsunami Hazard Mitigation Program.

These hazard maps cover tsunamis only; other potential hazards such as wind waves and swells would be additive to the inundation described by these data.
