Abstract
The problem of detecting tsunamis and measuring their wave‐height in the deep ocean has been investigated theoretically by Saxena (1974, 1975, 1976, 1978). This paper is a continuation of the earlier investigations and describes a system for measuring tsunami wave‐heights in the deep ocean. This cableless system uses pressure sensors, a two‐way digital acoustic telemetry system buoy, and a stationary satellite. The measured tsunami wave‐height and its direction of propagation will be an added parameter to the existing tsunami warning system, which will improve the reliability of tsunami warnings.
