Tsunamis trigger atmospheric disturbances that are picked up by GPS satellites – and an AI-powered monitoring system that detects the signals could alert us before the tsunami reaches coastal areas
A better early warning system for tsunamis could become a reality with the help of artificial intelligence. Researchers have shown how widely available AI technology can detect the subtle disturbances in the atmosphere caused when a tsunami’s destructive waves begin to form far from the shore – a demonstration that could help provide earlier warnings for coastal communities long before the tsunami reaches them.
