7.2 Structural measures

The following structural measures against meteotsunamis are useful, depending on conditions including bay shape and water depth distribution:

f. River banks are constructed in consideration of meteotsunamis ascending rivers, as well as downflows due to heavy rain. The wave height of nonlinear tsunamis due to a submarine earthquake increases, when they travel upstream along a river with relatively narrow width, depending on the mouth shape of the river, according to the numerical results from the three-dimensional calculation [19].
