International Tsunameter Partnership of Data Buoy Cooperation Panel Tsunameter Equipment Performance Standards and Guidelines.

Abstract

This document sets out functional, performance and other operational characteristics for deep ocean tsunami detection stations that will meet the requirements of local, regional and ocean-wide tsunami warning systems. Compliance with these guidelines and with their related quality assurance processes will enable warning centres, equipment purchasers, operators and non-warning-centre data users to have confidence in a tsunameter’s performance, data quality and interoperability, regardless of the specific equipment’s design or source of supply
