Abstract
Simulation of the trans-oceanic or trans-basin propagation of a tsunami is a computer-intensive task. This study demonstrates an effective and detailed visualization technique to deal with the vast amount of surface-elevation and velocity-field output. This high-definition visualization technique is used to present simulations of the 1960 and 2010 Chilean earthquake tsunamis and the 1983 Central East (Japan) Sea earthquake tsunami. This tsunami-visualization method using high-definition graphic animation is an appropriate tool to show detailed tsunami-propagation behavior over an ocean or coastal sea, as exemplified by the Pacific Ocean and East (Japan) Sea tsunami events.
