| Notes | This document reports on the development of a tsunami forecast model for Yaquina Bay. The authors used 11 past Pacific basin earthquakes, from the 1946 Unimak to the 2007 Chile events, to generate a model that would explain the wave heights experienced at Yaquina Bay and to predict future wave heights. Although this publication does not make any predictions about "The Big One," it does report on past wave heights. Extensive color illustrations show how the waves affected the Bay. "NOAA OAR Special Report." This publication is also numbered as Contribution No. 3344 from NOAA/Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory and Contribution No. 1771 from Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean (JISAO). |
