TOAST documentation

This is the documentation for TOAST version 2024.331#b5129e6de.

Warning

Please note that this documentation was made for the legacy (non-multiuser) version of TOAST. It has been partially adapted to the new TOAST multiuser version. Adaptation will be completed by the official release of the TOAST multiuser version in 2024.

Arrival isolines on maps visualize the tsunami propagation.

Maps with forecast zones show the threat levels.

Real-time waveforms provide instantaneous sea-level information and comparison to simulations.

Maps show the maximum wave height across the ocean.
