U.S. scientists are planning to install fiber optic systems seabed Trans, to predict the earliest tsunamis, avoiding damage to people and property
The model trans-Pacific fiber optic cable
Not only tsunami warning, fiber optic systems also transmit the abnormal changes in ocean temperature, then finding out the parameters for the study of global climate change.
Group of scientists, engineers and telecom U.S. officials outline the project is installation of underground cables attaching the sensors to quickly detect the moving seabed geography and potential disaster.
John Orcutt - Professor of geophysics at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography in La Jolla, California said: "Over 70% of the earth is water, so the installation of submarine fiber optic cable will help researchers to learn more about this wide world. "
By design, the data transmission speed of fiber optic cable up to 40 gigabit / sec. The experts will install 12,950 km long cable connecting Sydney to Auckland, then connect the Pacific to Los Angeles. But with current funding, the scientists will install sensors on the 75 km long cable.
In addition, the plant seismic design, design pressure and temperature sensors will be installed on the cable, allowing researchers to measure the intensity and direction of the waves across the ocean quickly best and most accurate, to alert agencies to the disaster management and quick evacuation of residents on the same street passing tsunami.
