Abstract

A rapid tsunami inundation and damage estimation system is newly established by fusion of real-time numerical modeling and geo-informatics. The system was launched as a function of the emergency response of Cabinet Office of Japan in November 2017. The forecasting system consists of a tsunami source modeling, a propagation and inundation simulation, and a mapping. The vector supercomputer SX-ACE serves as the simulation system and plays a central role in the forecasting system. Using SX-ACE, we complete tsunami source estimation in 10 minutes, tsunami inundation modeling and mapping in 20 minutes with 30 m grid resolution for 6-hour tsunami inundation forecasting for the western part of Japan (from Shizuoka to Kagoshima prefectures).
