2004年12月26日南亚沿岸地区灾难性的海啸是地震观测史中被仪器证实了的最大规模的事件。这使来自美国、加拿大和俄罗斯的研究人员能够建立长波在世界海洋中从其初始源头传播的数学模式,并了解什么因素决定了这些波浪带至海洋沿岸不同地点的能量。原来,延长的海底地段,其长度超 December 26, 2004 The catastrophic tsunami in the South Asian coast is the largest event-proven event in the history of seismic observations. This enabled researchers from the United States, Canada and Russia to build mathematical models of the longwave propagation in the world’s oceans from their original source and to understand what determines the energy of these waves to different locations along the coast of the ocean. It turned out that the extension of the sea floor, its length over
