Development and Application of a Novel Tsunami Monitoring System Based on Submerged Mooring.

Real-time data transmission and reliable operation are essential for a tsunami monitoring system to provide effective data. In this study, a novel real-time tsunami monitoring system is designed based on a submersible mooring system. This system is equipped with a data acquisition and tsunami wave identification algorithm, which can collect the measured data of the pressure sensor and detect a tsunami wave in real time. It adopts the combination design of underwater inductive coupling transmission and a redundant BeiDou communication device on the water surface to ensure the reliability of real-time data transmission. Compared with traditional tsunami monitoring buoys, it has the advantages of reliable communication, good concealment, high security, and convenient deployment, recovery, and maintenance. The results of laboratory and sea tests show that the system has high reliability of data transmission, stable overall operation of the system, and good application prospects in the field of real-time tsunami monitoring and early warning.
