摘要：
The December 26, 2004 tsunami occurred in the Indian Ocean has led scientists to develop improved computer models that will provide the forecast as to where and when a tsunami will strike and how it will behave onshore. The new models will also revealed about subtle complexities of an earthquake exert a remarkably strong influence over a tsunami's shape and size. A nee devising metrics is developed that consider powerful currents, which are much stronger in tsunami floodwaters than they are in normal tides and storm waves. Incorporating continuous Global Positioning System (GPS) reading can be an important component of tsunami warning systems in the future.
