A Review and Listing of Tsunami Heights and Travel Times for the 26 December 2004 Event

The 26 December 2004 tsunami can be considered a global tsunami, since it propagated not only throughout the Indian Ocean, in which it was generated, but also into the Pacific and Atlantic oceans (Kowalik et al., 2005a, b). Nirupama et al. (2005) which showed that about 90% of the tsunami energy stayed inside the Indian Ocean, while some 6% of the energy leaked into the Pacific Ocean, via mainly south of Australia and New Zealand. Another 4% of the energy leaked into the Atlantic Ocean via south of the Cape of Good Hope.
