Abstract
The size of an earthquake is one of the most important parameters for evaluating its tsunami potential, although many other factors affect the tsunami amplitude too. In order to use seismic data for tsunami warning purposes, we earlier developed two methods to determine the size of an earthquake very rapidly (Kanamori and Given, 1983). The first method involves inversion of long-period surface waves. and is appropriate for far-field tsunami warning. The second method uses near field long-period waves, and is appropriate for near-field tsunami warning.
