Abstract: The Tsunami N2 model has been used to simulate the Tsunami amplitudes and horizontal extent of inundation from the Indian Ocean Tsunami of December 26, 2004. The areas considered here pertain to the southwest coast of India, comprising the states of Kerala and Karnataka. In addition, the simulation of tsunami amplitudes and inundation has also been done for some selected islands of the Lakshadweep group of islands of India. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
