Designing and constructing a prototype of tsunameter

---

Tsunami waves are created when there is a rapid volume displacement of water. Tsunameter constantly monitors the height of the sea level. When an earthquake is detected, the system is activated from its idle mode. The wave model is then observed. If a threshold is passed, caused by the displaced water column, there is a possibility of the occurrence of tsunami. A prototype of a tsunameter is constructed in scaled model. The water level model is monitored using pressure sensor. The output voltage of the pressure sensor is amplified using op-amp, which then is converted to digital values using ADC of a microcontroller, transferred to a computer via a communication medium (i.e. serial port), and the wave model is filtered to detect the tsunami wave, and plotted using Ch student edition software from SoftIntegration, Inc.
