Abstract

Summary

The aim of this study is to review and model tsunami waves in the region of Southeastern European sea basins. The strongest earthquakes are revised using several seismic catalogues over the period 1000–2021. Tsunami data was collected from a historical catalog, as well as more recent tsunami tide-gauge records from the mareographic network. The geometry of the faults is calculated via formulas or directly taken from the European Database for Seismogenic Faults (EDSF). Thirteen seismic sources placed in the broad Eastern Mediterranean are analyzed in order to build a reliable input for tsunami simulation. Recent tsunami events in the Aegean Sea are simulated using numerical code UBO-TSUFD: 20 July 2017 (Bodrum-Kos, Mw=6.6), 2 May 2020 (Crete, Mw=6.6) and 30 October 2020 (Samos-Izmir, Mw=7.0). In all three cases the focal mechanisms favor the formation of a tsunami, as well as the generated waves were registered by several tide-gauges and a comparison between computed synthetic mareograms and observed tsunami was made.
