From CSDMS
Dr. Elena Tolkova, a research scientist at the University of Washington, contributed her tsunami model, CLIFFS, to CSDMS. CLIFFS computes tsunami propagation, and runup on land with a shallow-water approximation. The model was recently published in ‘Pure and Applied Geophysics’ and brings a new approach to modeling of inundation associated with a tsunami wave hitting the coast. The model is exemplary in that it is formally benchmarked against a theoretical case, a tank experiment and the 1993 real world Hokkaido tsunami.... more...
