A National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) animation of the tsunami that was triggered near Japan’s northeastern coast by a massive undersea earthquake on March 11 shows just how devastating, far-reaching and complex such a phenomenon can be.
The animation compresses 24 hours into just over one minute, and can be found on the YouTube channel of NOAA’s Pacific Marine Environmental Laboratory (PMEL) in both narrated and unnarrated versions.
Additional analysis of the tsunami can be found on Dr. Jeff Masters’ WunderBlog as well as the NOAA Center for Tsunami Research website.
