A first, rough estimate of #tsunami wave heights between #Tonga and #Australia.
This simulation might be an underestimation (1km resolution, unclear source mechanism -> volcano collapse/landslide, 2km³)
It can not adequately reflect complex wave patterns near the coasts.

Right now, the observed wave heights (tweet above) are not completely reflected by my simulation (but many at least).
I will keep enhancing the current simulation results.
There are still waves coming in, e.g. for Australia & New Zealand, which are higher than initial waves.
