Abstract
A method to reduce the noises in a OBS raw data by using the band-pass filter is presented. Tsunami records extracted from the raw data obtained in the deep ocean are compared with the computed results of the linear long wave theory. Although the computed and measured tsunami give the same maximum height of the order of 1cm, there are many differences between the two. Transformation of the tsunami on the continental slope determined from computed and observed data indicates that computed wave paths or directivity may be different from the observed one and that the physical dispersion is needed in the simulation to reproduce tsunami traveling along trenches and ridges.
