Abstract
The development of the Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning and mitigation System (IOTWS) has occurred rapidly over the past 5 or so years. One of the major elements of the IOTWS is the concept of a Regional Tsunami Watch Provider (RTWP). An RTWP is a centre that provides an advisory tsunami forecast service to one or more National Tsunami Warning Centres (NTWC). One requirement of an RTWP is that they must have access to numerical model-based tsunami forecasts. Products provided to the NTWCs are also exchanged with other RTWPs. An important part of the RTWP concept is that the services provided by the RTWPs are inter-operable. In this context, 'inter-operable' means that the products exchanged are in the same format and relate to the same physical parameters. The aim of the present work is to determine to what extent event-specific tsunami amplitude forecasts from different numerical forecast systems might differ, and therefore, how the related products from RTWPs might differ.
