Manifestation of the 1963 URUP Tsunami on Sakhalin: Observations and modeling

In the history of instrumental observations, the tsunami of 1963 generated in the vicinity of Urup in the Kuril Islands had the highest runup heights on the coasts of Sakhalin Island. It was generated by a strong earthquake which had a moment magnitude Mw 8.1. The present study summarizes the known observations of this event along the coasts of Sakhalin, in the Hawaiian Islands and elsewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Additionally, the prestent study includes the numerical simulation of this 1963 tsunami event in the framework of nonlinear shallow water theory. The results of the numerical calculations are in good agreement with the observational data. © 2017-TSUNAMI SOCIETY INTERNATIONAL.
