WERA Ocean Radar in Chile Observed Tsunami Signatures after the Earthquake in Japan on March 11, 2011

WERA combines all information for modern Coastal Management; measurements with high spatial and temporal resolution of Surface Currents, Wind Direction and Wave Parameters and provides access to all relevant data with one click!

WERA can be fully integrated into a national Tsunami Early Warning System providing valuable data to reduce the false alarm rate improving the reliability of the entire system. For timely Tsunami detection, the shelf edge should be located > 50 km off the coast.
