DART (Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis)

DART (Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis) is a system that detects tsunamis in the deep ocean before they reach land. It uses specialized buoys equipped with underwater sensors that monitor seawater pressure and wave activity. When a tsunami is detected, the system quickly sends data via satellite to emergency centers, allowing for rapid alerts and warnings. This early detection helps communities prepare and evacuate, reducing potential damage and loss of life. DART is a crucial component of global efforts to improve tsunami warning accuracy and timeliness.
