DETECTION OF TSUNAMI RADIATION AT ILLAPEL, CHILE ON 2015-9-16 BY REMOTE SENSING

Abstract

We have detected the Tsunami Radiation generated by the 8.3 magnitude seaquake at Illapel, Chile on 2015-9-16 at the following wavelengths: 3.9 μm, 6.5 μm, 10.7 μm, and 13.3 μm. No radiation is detected at 0.63 μm, which is in the visible spectrum. The Tsunami Signals that we have observed did not decay within 44 minutes. From the satellite the Peru-Chilean Trench is visible in infrared space. In order to facilitate research in this field we attach the MATLAB code in an Appendix.
