Abstract

The present paper reports the trace heights of the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake Tsunami along the Pacific coast of Aomori Prefecture, Japan. The trace heights were low (2-3 m) along the southern coast of Tsugaru Strait, in the north of Shimokita Peninsula, except for the neighborhood of Noushi area, where the heights reached up to 6 m. On the eastern coast of the peninsula, the trace heights were measured around 2 m from Misawa and its northwards; meanwhile the heights exceeded 10 m on the southwards. Result of the numerical tsunami modeling suggests that the local variability of the tsunami heights along the Shimokita Peninsula is explained by the edge waves and bay resonance.
