From: Historical tsunami observability for Izu–Bonin–Mariana sources
Maximum wave height and tsunami observability for earthquake scenarios in the Izu–Bonin–Mariana subduction system. Figures a-c show maximum wave heights for earthquakes of magnitude Mw 8.7 for the Izu–Bonin (a), North Mariana (b), and South Mariana (c) sources. Figures d-f show maximum wave heights for earthquakes of magnitude Mw 9.0 for the Izu–Bonin (d), North Mariana (e), and South Mariana (f) sources. Figures g-I show maximum tsunami wave heights for magnitude Mw 9.3 earthquakes for the Izu–Bonin (g), North Mariana (h), and South Mariana (i). Filled circles represent tsunami visibility with the darkest purple indicating maximum wave heights in excess of the local tidal range, medium purple representing maximum wave heights larger than 30% of the local tidal range, and the lightest purple indicating maximum wave heights less than 30% of the local tidal range. All plots use the same color scale for maximum wave height
