Abstract
Table of tsunamis which occurred in and near Japan was prepared. The table consists of two parts. One part (Table 1) is the table of tsunamis caused by earthquakes, vocanic eruptions and landslides which occurred in and near Japan. Another one (Table 2) is the table of tsunamis which occurred in the Pacific Ocean and additionally invaded Japan and its vicinity.
1) Table 1.
The contents of the table are:
a) Sequential number
b) Date in the Christian and Japanese Calendar (Time in Japanese Standard Time)
c) Location of tsunami source or epicentral region together with longitude, latitude and depth of hypocenter
d) Magnitude of earthquake
e) Grade magnitude of tsunami by Dr. A. IMAMURA and Dr. K. IIDA
f) Description of earthquake and tsunami.
Magnitude of earthquake, and longitude, latitude and depth of hypocenter were taken from the “Rika-nenpyo (1968)”, the “Catalogue of major earthquakes which occurred in and near Japan, supplementary volume No. 1 (1958), No. 2 (1966) and No. 3 (1968)” and the “Zisin-geppo (1968)”.
2) Table 2.
The contents of the table are:
a), c) and f) The same content as the Table 1
b) Date in the Christian Calendar (Time in Greenwich Mean Time)
e) Grade magnitude of tsunami occurred in the Pacific Ocean and invaded Japan and its vicinity.
Magnitude of earthquake, and longitude, latitude and depth of hypocenter were taken from the “Seismicity of the Earth and Related phenomena (1954)” and the report of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey.
