That's a good way to put it, they need a day job. I do think putting things like this into assimilation approaches like 4d-Var used in weather prediction has potential

What do you think of this @rocangel.bsky.social? The Boussinessq solver in geoclaw is still depth averaged so, perhaps? My money is on the source we used lacking short-wavelength detail. I've run some tests and with a "rougher" initial condition you quickly get a lot of dispersive ripples

The data is not real-time, there is latency, but that aside and assuming we solved it, I could see a few of these being useful for real-time data assimilation. The issue is that I'm not sure you could justify the cost of those missions on tsunami hazards alone since big events are so infrequent!

Always great tot work with @rocangel.bsky.social who led the study. Read the pre-print here: eartharxiv.org/repository/v...

Some more:
• There is clear evidence that dispersion matters behind the main front, shallow water equations alone don't cut it. This is very visible in the SWOT pass
•.While we were able to model dispersive waves, we're still missing some energy. Updated source models need to account for this!

Some highlights:
• First high-resolution spaceborne track of a great subduction-zone tsunami
• DART-driven inversion points to ~400 km rupture with peak uplift ~4 m (longer and farther downdip than early slip models)
• A blended source best matches both DART and SWOT observations

I hate we can't trust anything anymore more

Lol, as the parent of two dogs, this was of big concern for me too!

Right, to be clear––the screen grab comes from an email sent to the ITIC tsunami mailing list which is the "official" mailing list for tsunamis scientists. 99.99% odds the vid is legit

It's real. See my recent post.

FWIW most (all?) my "tsunami friends" think it's real. Not proof by any means, but no one sees physical incongruities

The ambiance looks really similar to the other video does it not? +1 for the dog video being real.

Having lived in Oregon for long enough now this also doesn't look quite like your regular sneaker wave. It could be something more niche like a meteotsunami but...

Does it? It's hard to tell where z=0 is pre- and post-, but I agree this is the dumbest timeline where we can't trust anything...

The period looks hella short yes but (i) tide gauges sample at 1-6 min so you wouldn't see shorter periods and the vid is not long enough to see if the intial surge goes on for longer. I'm on the fence but calling this one 50-50 still

Could be! Fun game of geo-guesser

A report was shared on the IOC UNESCO mailing list showing ~17 m at Paramushir island in the Sea of Okhotsk, so this doesn't seem too far off
