Application
Tsunamis travel quickly and cause great damage when they hit land. So it is vital that tsunami warnings are issued early. Tsunami information centres continuously evaluate simultaneous data from seismic and sea level measuring stations. Such a sea level measuring station is operated by an oceanographic centre in a ferry and cargo-ship terminal. The measurement has to reliably and accurately detect the sea level and forward the data directly to the central monitoring system.
