A-bomb system can warn of tsunami
Monitoring stations set up to detect
atomic explosions could help predict
the path of a tsunami, research shows.
Californian scientists have analysed
sound waves produced in the Indian
Ocean by last December's Asian tsunami.
Writing in the journal Geophysical
Research Letters, the team says the
tsunami produced a "unique" signal.
This indicates, they say, that stations
set up to implement the A-bomb test ban
treaty could be involved in the new
Indian Ocean tsunami warning system.
