These tsunami modes for PREM (and modified PREM) have been computed by
the
normal mode method described in

In
Figure b), three lines in Figure a) are overlaid each
other
and magnified. Two dispersed waveforms are the same
in
the beginning, but a phase shift between them appears
at
round time of 14 hours. This is because the equation (7)
holds
only for long-waves. As the wave period becomes shorter
the
wave deviates more from the long-waves. At time 14 hour,
the
wave period of the dispersed wave is about 6 min
(360
sec) and the wave deviates from long-waves.

### Steps to apply phase correction to distant tsunami
###
Please note that the phase correction method can be applied to
the direct tsunamis that can be modeled as unidirectionally
propagating waves.
Later part of tsunami waveforms containing reflected waves
from the coasts are modeled less accurately.
1) Prepare long-wave tsunami simulation waveform data.
The data timewindow start time is arbitral. See sample_cut.pdf
in which two timewindow lengths are compared.
sample_cut.pdf demonstrates that different
timewindows containing
the same long-wave signal result in the same phase-corrected waveforms.
Top trace is a part of the Gaussian-shaped long-wave shown in Figure 6b.
Middle trace is the phase-corrected waveform of the Top trace.
Bottom trace, same to Figure 6d, is the waveforms for which
phase-correction is applied to the entire waveforms starting
at the origin time.
Detrending and tapering should be applied to the waveform data
in the timewindow.
Zero-padding to the waveform data is applied, to make the
number of data is the power of 2.
2) Pick a reference depth D. D=4km is OK for global tsunami propagation.
3) Find phase velocities of PREM (or density-stratified seawater)
tsunami mode for given frequencies by interpolating the tsunami mode
table.
The frequencies are the determined from the total length and sampling
interval
of a given tsunami waveform data.
At those frequencies, we measure the phase of the waveform time series
by the Fast Fourier Transofrm (FFT) method.
If a frequency is outside of a frequency range in the tsunami mode
table,
set the amplitude and phase at the frequency to be zero and no
spectra is computed. Resultant tsunami waveforms do not have signals
at these frequencies outside the frequency range.
4) At each frequency, use equation (10) of Watada et al. 2014 to compute the
phase velocity difference of a reference 4km deep ocean.
Distance L is assumed simply, for example, to be the great circle
distance
between the tsunami source to the observation
site.
5) At each frequency, use equation (14) to convert the phase velocity
difference to the phase difference.
6) Apply the phase correction to the simulated long-wave waveforms.
This can be done in the frequency domain to add a phase correction to
the phase spectrum computed by the FFT method.
Please note that, to obtain the phase corrected time series by the
inverse FFT (IFFT), phase-corrected phase spectrum must satisfy
a condition that spectrum at a negative frequency is the complex
conjugate of the spectrum at the positive frequency.
phase-corrected Fourier spectrum Y(i),
i=0,1,...., N, N is a power of 2.
Complex_conjugate of Y(N-i) = Y(i)
This means that Y(0) and Y(N/2) are real numbers.
IFFT of Y(i) will result in a X(i), real part of
X(i) is the
phase-corrected waveforms.
### Final note ###
please look at sample_cut.pdf. It demonstrates that the phase-correction
method works well for a part of long-wave waveform data.
It also demonstrates the phase-correction becomes inaccurate as the wave-type
deviates from shallow water waves to deep water waves.
When phase-correction is applied to short-period tsunamis, i.e. deep water
waves, the method proposed by Sandanbata et al. is recommended.
