A good tsunami warning system would be well-placed instruments with good communications that are able to send data immediately and effectively. The information has to be made available within ten minutes via satellite... (Daily Post, 2005)
Thus the warning system must be installed in almost, if not, all oceans and seas around the world. This is because every sea or ocean is prone to tsunami. Like the Indian Ocean, no body can remember when was the last time (if there really is) that a tsunami has occurred in this body of water, but the 2004 tsunami has proven that it can indeed occur in this part of the continent.
More so, oceanographers can maximize the use of the technology present today. There are reports that a "computerized 3-D coastal-relief representations called digital elevation models (DEMs) will provide better glimpse of the topography and movement underneath the waters. This DEM can also create tsunami models which can be used to predict coastal flooding caused by hurricanes. The use of DEM has been...
