NOAA Research News. DART® (Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis) DART® real-time tsunami monitoring systems, developed by PMEL, are positioned at strategic locations throughout the ocean and play a critical role in tsunami forecasting. NOAA monitors ocean surface height through a network of buoys and tide gauges, which helps scientists determine how high tsunami waves may be when they reach the shore.

NOAA Science On a Sphere visualizations show tsunami impacts around the globe . tsunamis. Estimated arrival times for the first wave are provided for select locations. Here, warnings are issued by the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, operated by NOAA in Hawaii.

The Tsunami Warning Centers depend on an observation system that includes seismic and water-level networks from around the world to help them determine when and where to issue tsunami messages. NOAA maintains a large network of buoys with ocean floor sensors that are strategically positioned in the earthquake-prone zones of the Pacific. A tsunami is a series of large waves generated by the sudden displacement of water during an earthquake, landslide, volcanic eruption, or meteorite impact. The global extent of this tsunami led to the creation of the Pacific Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System in 1965.
