The first wave peak arrives at the northern end of Lake Zurich (offshore today’s location of Buerkliplatz) ~ 8 min after the triggering of the landslides, with a low peak amplitude of ~ 0.1 m (ESM, Fig. 4). At the gauge location Rapperswil, a wave of only ~ 1 cm can ...
the interseismic plate coupling, which is a key element to infer the tectonic strain accumulation. Our results strongly support the implementation of offshore monitoring networks along subduction zones, along with near-source tsunameters which would significantly improve existing tsunami early warning ...
