Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Two phenomena associated with huge earthquakes have been observed after the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake for the first time by using satellite altimetry. One is the height distribution of the propagating tsunami in the ocean. The other is the seismic geoid change. The following is an outline of our tentative research results reported in this paper: (1) estimation by inverse analysis with numerical tsunami computation and the detected tsunami propagating in the Indian Ocean and (2) estimation of fault location from seismic geoid change. We also draw attention to the fact that satellite observation have the potential to detect new phenomena accompany huge earthquakes and can improve our seismological knowledge.
