摘要：

A high-frequency radar system which has been used at coastal locations for measurement of surface current and wave fields is suggested and analyzed as a tsunami detection and warning system. This system would detect the presence and magnitude of a tsunami as it approaches the shore by observing the to-fro current pattern produced by the orbital velocity of the tsunami wave. For the radar system presently in existence, typical warning times exceeding 45 min are shown to be possible for Pacific United States coastal locations. © 1979.
