dc.description.abstractAn analysis of the data collected on 26 December, 2004, should help us understand the series of events that followed the great earthquake that occurred on that day. One of the most important amongst these data is the sea level variation. The tsunami triggered by the Sumatra earthquake left a distinct footprint in the records of tide gauges maintained by the Survey of India, Dehra Dun, in some of the Indian ports. These records provided critically important information to estimate the length of the tsunami source region. The length has now been estimated to be approx. 900 km, a figure at least 30% larger than that arrived at earlier without full use of the Indian tide gauge data. Exercises such a these should help us to develop an effective warning system in the future
