Year Small integer Year of the generating event EMTC v2.0
Month Small integer Month of the generating event EMTC v2.0
Day Small integer Day of the generating event EMTC v2.0
Hour Small integer Hour of the generating event EMTC v2.0
Minutes Small integer Minute of thegenerating event EMTC v2.0
Region Short text, 2 characters In the Euro Mediterranean area seven tsunamigenic regions were identified: NW (Norwegian Sea), NS (North Sea), AT (Atlantic Ocean), M3 (Western Mediterranean), M2 (Central Mediterranean), M1 (Eastern Mediterranean), BS (Black Sea). EMTC v2.0
Subregion Short text Inside each region, several subregions were identified. They are the geographic regions where the tsunamigenic event originated. EMTC v2.0
Reliability Small integer Is a parameter indicating the quality of the data. For each event this parameter was assigned based on the trustworthiness of the information related to the generating cause, the tsunami description accuracy and also on the availability of coeval bibliographical sources. It ranges from 0 to 4: 0= very improbable tsunami; 1= improbable tsunami; 2= questionable tsunami; 3= probable tsunami; 4= definite tsunami. EMTC v2.0
Cause Short text, 2 characters A two-letters code specifying the cause of the tsunami. When the tsunami is directly or indirectly determined by an earthquake, the letter E is used: ER (submarine earthquake), EA (earthquake in land), EL (earthquake landslide -when the earthquake triggered a landslide), ES (earthquake marine slide - when the earthquake triggered a submarine slide). Analogously, letter V is used when the tsunami is directly or indirectly related to volcanic activity: VO (submarine eruption), VA (volcano associated – when the volcano is close to the coast), VL (volcanic landslide – subaerial avalanches on the volcano flanks), VS (volcanic marine slide – submarine avalanches on the volcano flanks). When the tsunami is caused by a gravitational instability not amenable to earthquakes or volcanic activity, the letter G is used: GL (gravitational landslide), GS (gravitational marine slide), GA (gravitational snow avalanche). The code UN (unknown cause) is used when the tsunami cause is unknown. EMTC v2.0
Lat Float, 3 decimal Latitude, the geographical coordinates of the generating cause are reported in decimal degrees and WGS 84 (EPSG code 4326). EMTC v2.0
Lon Float, 3 decimal Longitude, the geographical coordinates of the generating cause are reported in decimal degrees and WGS 84 (EPSG code 4326). EMTC v2.0
MacroIntensity Short text, between 1 and 5 characters If the cause is an earthquake, the maximum macroseismic intensity (MCS scale) is reported according to bibliographical sources quoted in the description. EMTC v2.0
Magnitude Float, 2 decimal If the cause is an earthquake, the magnitude value is given, according to bibliographical sources quoted in the description. EMTC v2.0
FocalDepth Small integer If the cause is an earthquake, the focal depth (in km) is given, according to bibliographical sources quoted in the description. EMTC v2.0
VEI Small integer If the cause is a volcanic eruption, the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of the eruption is reported, according to bibliographical sources quoted in the description. References: list of the bibliographical sources cited in the description. EMTC v2.0
RunUp Float, 1 decimal Maximum tsunami run-up value observed or measured, in meters. EMTC v2.0
TsunamiInt_SieAmb Small integer The tsunami intensity is attributed on the basis of the six-degree Sieberg-Ambraseys scale (Ambraseys, 1962). 1= very light, 2= light, 3= rather strong, 4= strong, 5= very strong, 6= disastrous. EMTC v2.0
TsunamiInt_PapIma Short text The tsunami intensity is attributed also on the twelve-degree Papadopoulos and Imamura (2001) scale. I= not felt, II= scarcely felt, III= weak, IV= largely observed, V= strong, VI= slightly damaging, VII= damaging, VIII= heavily damaging, IX= destructive, X= very destructive, XI= devastating, XII= completely devastating. EMTC v2.0
Description Long text Short description of the event. EMTC v2.0
URL Short text The URL leading to a general description of the tsunami effects. EMTC v2.0
