LEARNING TARGET: I will construct a practice small amplitude tsunami graph during today's class
WORDS O' THE DAY:
- frequency (waves/second or waves/minute)
- period ("seconds/wave or minutes/wave")
- amplitude (wave height)
- wavelength (distance from crest to crest)
- crest (the highest point of the wave)
- trough (the lowest point of the wave)
- speed = (wavelength x frequency. NOTE: (meters/
wave) x (waves/sec) = meters/sec - tsunami
- subduction zone
TSUNAMI WAVE EQUATION:
WORK O' THE DAY:
VIDEO TUTORIALS:
- Getting raw DART "Event" data and turning it into usable data in Google Sheets is HERE
- Processing 'Small Amplitude Tsunami Data' is HERE
═══════════════════════════
Now we'll go ahead and find an EVENT from the map below. You'll then go to the NOAA data page and grab the EVENT data for that occurrence and graph it.
PLEASE keep in mind there is NO guarantee that a Pacific-wide tsunami (even and especially not a small amplitude tsunami) wave was generated that reached the buoy you are using.
The ocean bottom is key and sometimes energy from the event is funnelled towards your buoy and sometimes not-- but usually somewhere in between.
BE SURE AND CHECK FOR SQUIGGLES THAT ARE NOT EQ WAVES soon as you can after grabbing your data!
Today's work. Make a graph that looks exactly and precisely like this from the Kodiak data:
- Graph line/curve/shape exactly as shown (including color)
- Major X axis grid lines every ten minutes beginning at 11:40 AM as shown below
- Minor X axis grid lines exactly as shown
- Major Y axis grid lines exactly as shown beginning at 2774.650 as shown below
- Minor X axis grid lines exactly as shown
- Major X axis 'tick' marks exactly as shown
- Major Y axis 'tick' marks exactly as shown
- Title exactly as shown
- Labels exactly as shown
- Graph color close to the blue shown below
- Major and minor axis grid line colors approximate to those shown below
- Trendline exactly as shown
