TOAST documentation

This is the documentation for TOAST version 2025.295#7434f70e0.

Attention

This documentation refers to the single-user TOAST-legacy version which is being phased out!

Consult https://docs.gempa.de/toast-client/current/ for the online documentation of the new TOAST multi-user version.

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.
