Tide-gauge records of the December 2004 tsunami in the Western Indian Ocean (source: Fisheries and Oceans Canada, 2005). For locations see Figure 10. Note vertical scale. mid-ocean basin station (, Male, Gan, Diego Garcia) water-level records contained ongoing oscillations which were very small compared to the initial waves (Fig. 12). In the Maldives, the first wave was the largest and most sustained and the atolls were subject to "rapid surges of water rather than the large waves experienced in Thailand and Sumatra" (AusAID, 2005, 3). By comparison, tide-gauge records from locations as geographically dispersed as Oman (, Salalah, Fig. 12) western Australia, eastern Cape, South Africa (Fig. 14; Merrifield et al., 2005) and around Vancouver Island on the Pacific Ocean west coast (Rabinovich, 2005b), showed oscillations of similar amplitude persisting for one to two days. Such signals probably resulted from resonant water level oscillations, with a period of 20^15 minutes, associated with continental shelf Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Smithsonian Institution.
