Re: Tsunami surge in San Diego
Tsunami propagation model:-
Some interesting details here of wave refraction as the tsunami crosses the pacific. Variations in ocean depth lead to variations in wave speed and in particvular there is a focussing effect from extensive fields of volcanic seamounts south of Hawaii. Thuis leads the waves to focus directly onto the east coast of japan - explaining why they locally had a 1.2m Tsunami there, while other places e.g. Hawaii or new Zealand experienced very little.
