The NEAM Benchmarking Project (NEAMBP) arises from the need to fill the gap in tsunami model benchmarking of providing verification examples (field cases) in the NEAM region.
Among the candidates for field benchmark events to be used we are considering the following ones:
- Zakynthos, 25 October 2018
- Lesvos, 12 June 2017
- Kos-Bodrum, 20 July 2017
- Crotone, 17 November 2015
- Algeria 21 May 2003 (Bourmedès-Zemmouri)
- Gulf of Cadiz 1969
- One in the Eastern Mediterranean
When some of these data are available, we will propose to organize a benchmarking workshop in order to gather modeller results on those benchmarks and to proceed to a model intercomparison exercise.
NEAM stands for North-Eastern Atlantic, Mediterranean and connected seas
