Preface to the Second Edition
In the first edition, we paid attention not only to tsunami waves, but to related phenomena, namely, seaquakes, as well, which to a significant extent reflected the interests of the authors at the time. The second edition is more “tsunami-oriented”: the chapter dedicated to seaquakes and the information on killer waves have been dropped. A new chapter on the fundamental properties of coseismic bottom deformations at the tsunami source has been added in the second edition. The theoretical material expounded in the first edition has been supplemented with information on the hydrodynamic formulation of the problem both in the case of an incompressible ocean and when the compressibility of seawater is taken into account. The concrete problems concerning wave generation by dynamic deformations, dealt with within the framework of the theory of an incompressible liquid, are supplemented with two static problems: on calculation of the initial elevation at a tsunami source and on residual hydrodynamic fields that accompany tsunami generation by an earthquake in a rotating ocean. The chapter on hydroacoustic and nonlinear effects is supplemented with an analysis of new information on the manifestations of tsunamigenic earthquakes based on the data fr
