Cherry Creek News - NOAA Launches Final Two Buoys to Complete U.S. Tsunami Warning System

Cherry Creek News - NOAA Launches Final Two Buoys to Complete U.S. Tsunami Warning System: "These final deep-ocean assessment and reporting of tsunami (DART) stations, deployed off the Solomon Islands, will give NOAA forecasters real-time data about tsunami that could potentially strike the U.S. Pacific coast, Hawaii and U.S. Pacific territories. Tsunami sensors are now positioned between Hawaii and every seismic zone that could generate a tsunami that would affect the state and beyond, including the U.S. West Coast. Buoys already in the western Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico, and Caribbean have been keeping watch over the U.S East and Gulf coasts."
