Historical Tsunami Database for the Mediterranean, 1628 B.C - 2000

Long), the source depth Dep, the basic set of source magnitudes (mb, Ms, Mw, Mt), tsunami intensity I (on the Soloviev-Imamura scale), tsunami magnitude m (on the Imamira-Iida scale), the maximum observed run-up value Hmax, the total number of available run-up and tide-gauge measurements N, damage code D, the number of reported fatalities due to an event F, a cause of the tsunami C, validity of an event V, warning status WS (where available), tsunamigenic region code TR, the basic reference BR and a brief description of the source region.

The second part of the database contains coastal run-up observations and tide-gauge measurements of wave heights. For each wave height record, a set of displayed parameters includes the 3-level name of the site (Region name, Area name and Site name), its geographical coordinates (Lat, Long), the type of measurement T (R - run-up, T - tide-gauge) and the observed run-up height or the double amplitude H (in meters), distance of horizontal flooding and the period of the dominant wave (because of their scarcity the last two parameters are nor presented in the Web-version of the database).

For the Mediterranean regions, the run-up data files were newly created using published catalogs and primary publications. The database can be accessed online at: "tsun.sscc.ru/htdbmed/"
