03.02.2015 Тихоокеанская волна 15 (Pacific wave 15)
Пятые международные учения Системы предупреждения о цунами в Тихом океане запланированы на февраль 2015 года согласно рекомендации Межправительственной Координационной группы Тихоокеанской системы предупреждения и снижения рисков цунами на 25-й сессии в сентябре 2013 года (Владивосток). Россия присоединится к странам тихоокеанского региона, которые будут принимать участие в учениях «Тихоокеанская волна 15» в период со 2 по 6 февраля 2015 года.
Основная цель учений: тестирование экспериментальных продуктов Тихоокеанского Центра предупреждения о цунами (ТЦПЦ, Гонолулу) для обеспечения более быстрого и точного прогноза цунами и повышения оперативного реагирования при угрозе цунами в Тихом океане. Проверка процедуры принятия решений с использованием новых экспериментальных продуктов ТЦПЦ (бюллетени, карты с прогнозом распространения цунами, распределения энергии цунами, таблицы прогнозов для прибрежных пунктов), позволит лучше оценить угрозу цунами для защищаемого побережья.
Последние катастрофические события в Самоа (2009 г.), Чили (2010 и 2014 г.г.), Японии (2011 г.) и на Соломоновых островах (2013 г.) показали необходимость повышенной готовности в случае опасности цунами. Это важное мероприятие проверит текущие процедуры Системы предупреждения о цунами в Тихом океане с учетом использования новых продуктов для своевременного предупреждения цунами и смягчения последствий, поможет определить сильные и слабые стороны системы предупреждения о цунами в каждой стране.
В ходе проведения учений будет смоделирована ситуация сильного катастрофического цунами, при которой в странах тихоокеанского бассейна будет объявляться тревога цунами, требующая принятия решений и мер, вплоть до оповещения населения. Предложено 6 различных сценариев расположения источников: Южная Америка, Центральная Америка, Желоб Тонга, Нансей желоб (острова Рюкю), Манильский желоб и Японская впадина.
Различные сценарии разработаны для того, чтобы каждая страна-участница могла определиться с выбором наиболее подходящего для целей учения источника цунами. Учение даст возможность Центрам цунами Службы предупреждения о цунами (СПЦ) разного уровня (национальным, региональным, локальным) изучить дополнительные материалы, которые будут распространяться ТЦПЦ в ходе тревоги и учесть новую информацию при выпуске предупреждений об угрозе цунами.
Кроме того, регулярные международные Учения важны для поддержания готовности персонала в случае реального события. Это особенно актуально в случае катастрофических цунами, которые происходят редко, но требуют быстрого реагирования. Странам-участницам рекомендовано проводить штабные учения для выявления степени понимания и интерпретации экспериментальных продуктов персоналом, а также их использования для оценки национальной угрозы тревоги цунами от выбранного источника. Доступные сценарии позволят тихоокеанским странам выбрать и обыграть событие от удаленного/регионального/ источника. В процессе «Тихоокеанской волны 15» будет смоделирована ситуация, в которой побережья стран тихоокеанского региона окажутся под воздействием цунами трансокеанского масштаба, что потребует быстрого принятия соответствующих решений. Учения предлагается провести как штабные, без оповещения и учебной эвакуации населения, т.е., только для персонала Центров цунами.
Для российской СПЦ, по сценарию, учебное цунамигенное землетрясение с магнитудой 9,0 произойдет у побережья Японии 4 февраля 2015 года в 01:00 Всемирного скоординированного времени (ВСВ). Предполагается, что цунами обрушится на побережье Курильских островов и Камчатки, проникнет в Японское, Охотское и Берингово моря. В ответ на получение сообщений от зарубежных Центров предупреждения о цунами (Гонолулу, Токио), учитывая смоделированное цунами, будет проводиться анализ, прогнозироваться возможное развитие ситуаций, будет сымитировано принятие решений и процедур предупреждения без общественного оповещения. Тренировка персонала Центров цунами, российской СПЦ в том числе, является существенным элементом в Программе Тихоокеанской Системы предупреждения и снижения рисков цунами.
Cценарий учений «Тихоокеанская Волна 15»
Тихоокеанский Центр предупреждения о цунами (ТЦПЦ, Гонолулу) и Северо-Западный Консультативный Центр Цунами (NWPTAC, Токио) выпускают учебные текстовые сообщения, с 3 по 5 февраля 2015 г. Бюллетени, соответствующие учебным, доступны на веб-сайте.
Все материалы (бюллетени, сопровождающие карты с прогнозом распространения цунами, распределения энергии цунами, таблицы прогнозов для прибрежных пунктов) опубликованы на сайте ITIC PacWave15.
Учения Российской СПЦ будут проходить в виде командно - штабных с выпуском учебных телеграмм. Для российской СПЦ по сценарию учебное цунамигенное землетрясение с магнитудой 9,0 произойдет у побережья Японии 4 февраля 2015 года в 01:00 Всемирного скоординированного времени (ВСВ). Предполагается, что цунами обрушится на побережье Курильских островов и Камчатки, проникнет в Японское, Охотское и Берингово моря. В ответ на получение сообщений от зарубежных Центров предупреждения о цунами (Гонолулу, Токио), учитывая смоделированное цунами, будет проводиться анализ, прогнозироваться возможное развитие ситуаций, будет сымитировано принятие решений и процедур предупреждения без общественного оповещения.
В 01:00 ВСВ (11:00 сахалинского времени) происходит сильное землетрясение в Тихоокеанском регионе (рис.1).
Рис.1. Учебная карта распространения цунами после сильного землетрясения у побережья Японии в рамках учения «Тихоокеанская волна 2015».
I Получение первичного учебного сигнала от зарубежного центра цунами
01:00 ВСВ – землетрясение.
01:04 – регистрация сильного землетрясения ИОЦ «Южно-Сахалинск». ИОЦ сообщает о Р-волне Центру цунами.
В 01:07 ВСВ (11:07 сах) Тихоокеанским Центром предупреждения цунами (ТЦПЦ) выпускается (смотрим заранее скаченный бюллетень с веб-сайта или Приложение 1) бюллетень предупреждения о цунами с предварительными параметрами землетрясения: 04 февраля в 01:00 ВСВ произошло землетрясение Магнитуда 8.7, координаты 38,1 севера, 142,9 востока,, глубина 20 км, восточное побережье Японии.
ИОЦ Петропавловск-Камчатский и Владивосток также имитируют регистрацию сильного землетрясения, и, через соответствующий промежуток времени выпускают учебные сигналы для Центра цунами, который, в свою очередь, по своей схеме распространит учебное сообщение.
Проводится учение в «сжатом» режиме времени, от двух до нескольких часов, исходя из конкретных условий.
II Анализ ситуации и передача учебного сигнала по схеме Один, выполнение соответствующих действий дежурным океанологом ЦЦ согласно регламента:
01:09 ВСВ – Получение от дежурного сейсмолога ИОЦ «Южно-Сахалинск» сообщения: учебная тревога цунами по схеме Один (ближняя зона). Используя параметры землетрясения, рассчитать время подхода цунами к населенным пунктам Курильских островов
01:12 ВСВ – Передача учебного сообщения океанологом Центра цунами по схеме Один (Курильские острова), в том числе на Курильские ГМС, привлеченные к наблюдениям за уровнем моря.
Проанализировать ситуацию, используя новые продукты (заранее скаченные с веб-сайта): а) карты распределения энергии волны цунами и прибрежных амплитуд, рассчитанные для зоны 3 часового пробега волны цунами; б) таблица прогнозов для прибрежных населённых пунктов.
Передать информацию по адресам схемы распространения небоевой информации (Бл.40, телефоны).
Получение в 01:30 ВСВ (11:30 сах) от ТЦПЦ бюллетеня с уточненной магнитудой землетрясения: М=9.0 (смотрим заранее скаченный с веб-сайта).
На основе исторических данных проанализировать ситуацию.
III Выполнение соответствующих действий дежурным океанологом ЦЦ согласно регламента (имитация):
1. После получения бюллетеня (смотрим заранее скаченный с веб-сайта)учебного предупреждения о цунами тихоокеанского масштаба, выпущенного ТЦПЦ, океанолог анализирует ситуацию, используя новые продукты (заранее скаченные с веб-сайта): а) карты распределения энергии волны цунами и прибрежных амплитуд, рассчитанные для всего Тихоокеанского бассейна; б) таблица прогнозов для прибрежных населённых пунктов всего Тихоокеанского бассейна. Океанолог принимает решение об объявлении учебной тревоги по схеме Один; передает учебную тревогу по схеме один:
1 адрес - оперативному дежурному ГУ МЧС по Сахалинской области по телефону;2 адрес - бл. 33 на центральный телеграф Сахалинского филиала ОАО Ростелеком;
3 адрес - бл. 1 по адресам СахУГМС;
4 адрес - бл.17 по адресам navtex;
5 адрес - в международный обмен - Б19;
6 адрес - передает текст учебной тревоги по телефонам, указанным в Папке №1 (Боевая);
Ведется контроль ситуации и сбор информации;
2. При получении от ТЦПЦ финального бюллетеня (смотрим заранее скаченный с веб-сайта), океанолог принимает решение об объявлении отбоя тревоги цунами по Курильским островам:
1 адрес - сообщает по телефону оперативному дежурному ГУ МЧС по Сахалинской области (Б10);2 адрес - составляет текст отбоя тревоги для передачи на ЦТ (Б4ct) и по адресам СахУГМС;
3 адрес - отправляет Б20 (отбой учебной тревоги) для зарубежных служб в международный обмен;
4 адрес - передает текст отбоя тревоги по телефонам;
5 адрес - составляет и отправляет в адреса Б40 текст сообщения об отбое учебной тревоги;
6 адрес - отменяет наблюдения за уровнем моря (Б8_1).
IV Анализ учений, выявление недостатков:
Составление отчета.
Если в период проведения Учений 4 февраля 2015 года произойдет любая фактическая угроза цунами, тренировка будет приостановлена.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* A TSUNAMI IS A SERIES OF WAVES. THE TIME BETWEEN WAVE CRESTS
CAN VARY FROM 5 MINUTES TO AN HOUR. THE HAZARD MAY PERSIST FOR
MANY HOURS OR LONGER AFTER THE INITIAL WAVE.
* IMPACTS CAN VARY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM ONE SECTION OF COAST TO
THE NEXT DUE TO LOCAL BATHYMETRY AND THE SHAPE AND ELEVATION
OF THE SHORELINE.
* IMPACTS CAN ALSO VARY DEPENDING UPON THE STATE OF THE TIDE AT
THE TIME OF THE MAXIMUM TSUNAMI WAVES.
* PERSONS CAUGHT IN THE WATER OF A TSUNAMI MAY DROWN... BE
CRUSHED BY DEBRIS IN THE WATER... OR BE SWEPT OUT TO SEA.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* A TSUNAMI IS A SERIES OF WAVES. THE TIME BETWEEN WAVE CRESTS
CAN VARY FROM 5 MINUTES TO AN HOUR. THE HAZARD MAY PERSIST FOR
MANY HOURS OR LONGER AFTER THE INITIAL WAVE.
* IMPACTS CAN VARY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM ONE SECTION OF COAST TO
THE NEXT DUE TO LOCAL BATHYMETRY AND THE SHAPE AND ELEVATION
OF THE SHORELINE.
* IMPACTS CAN ALSO VARY DEPENDING UPON THE STATE OF THE TIDE AT
THE TIME OF THE MAXIMUM TSUNAMI WAVES.
* PERSONS CAUGHT IN THE WATER OF A TSUNAMI MAY DROWN... BE
CRUSHED BY DEBRIS IN THE WATER... OR BE SWEPT OUT TO SEA.
TSUNAMI OBSERVATIONS...UPDATED
------------------------------
* THE FOLLOWING ARE TSUNAMI WAVE OBSERVATIONS FROM COASTAL
AND/OR DEEP-OCEAN SEA LEVEL GAUGES AT THE INDICATED LOCATIONS.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* A TSUNAMI IS A SERIES OF WAVES. THE TIME BETWEEN WAVE CRESTS
CAN VARY FROM 5 MINUTES TO AN HOUR. THE HAZARD MAY PERSIST FOR
MANY HOURS OR LONGER AFTER THE INITIAL WAVE.
* IMPACTS CAN VARY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM ONE SECTION OF COAST TO
THE NEXT DUE TO LOCAL BATHYMETRY AND THE SHAPE AND ELEVATION
OF THE SHORELINE.
* IMPACTS CAN ALSO VARY DEPENDING UPON THE STATE OF THE TIDE AT
THE TIME OF THE MAXIMUM TSUNAMI WAVES.
* PERSONS CAUGHT IN THE WATER OF A TSUNAMI MAY DROWN... BE
CRUSHED BY DEBRIS IN THE WATER... OR BE SWEPT OUT TO SEA.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* A TSUNAMI IS A SERIES OF WAVES. THE TIME BETWEEN WAVE CRESTS
CAN VARY FROM 5 MINUTES TO AN HOUR. THE HAZARD MAY PERSIST FOR
MANY HOURS OR LONGER AFTER THE INITIAL WAVE.
* IMPACTS CAN VARY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM ONE SECTION OF COAST TO
THE NEXT DUE TO LOCAL BATHYMETRY AND THE SHAPE AND ELEVATION
OF THE SHORELINE.
* IMPACTS CAN ALSO VARY DEPENDING UPON THE STATE OF THE TIDE AT
THE TIME OF THE MAXIMUM TSUNAMI WAVES.
* PERSONS CAUGHT IN THE WATER OF A TSUNAMI MAY DROWN... BE
CRUSHED BY DEBRIS IN THE WATER... OR BE SWEPT OUT TO SEA.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* A TSUNAMI IS A SERIES OF WAVES. THE TIME BETWEEN WAVE CRESTS
CAN VARY FROM 5 MINUTES TO AN HOUR. THE HAZARD MAY PERSIST FOR
MANY HOURS OR LONGER AFTER THE INITIAL WAVE.
* IMPACTS CAN VARY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM ONE SECTION OF COAST TO
THE NEXT DUE TO LOCAL BATHYMETRY AND THE SHAPE AND ELEVATION
OF THE SHORELINE.
* IMPACTS CAN ALSO VARY DEPENDING UPON THE STATE OF THE TIDE AT
THE TIME OF THE MAXIMUM TSUNAMI WAVES.
* PERSONS CAUGHT IN THE WATER OF A TSUNAMI MAY DROWN... BE
CRUSHED BY DEBRIS IN THE WATER... OR BE SWEPT OUT TO SEA.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* A TSUNAMI IS A SERIES OF WAVES. THE TIME BETWEEN WAVE CRESTS
CAN VARY FROM 5 MINUTES TO AN HOUR. THE HAZARD MAY PERSIST FOR
MANY HOURS OR LONGER AFTER THE INITIAL WAVE.
* IMPACTS CAN VARY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM ONE SECTION OF COAST TO
THE NEXT DUE TO LOCAL BATHYMETRY AND THE SHAPE AND ELEVATION
OF THE SHORELINE.
* IMPACTS CAN ALSO VARY DEPENDING UPON THE STATE OF THE TIDE AT
THE TIME OF THE MAXIMUM TSUNAMI WAVES.
* PERSONS CAUGHT IN THE WATER OF A TSUNAMI MAY DROWN... BE
CRUSHED BY DEBRIS IN THE WATER... OR BE SWEPT OUT TO SEA.
TSUNAMI OBSERVATIONS...UPDATED
------------------------------
* THE FOLLOWING ARE TSUNAMI WAVE OBSERVATIONS FROM COASTAL
AND/OR DEEP-OCEAN SEA LEVEL GAUGES AT THE INDICATED LOCATIONS.
THE MAXIMUM TSUNAMI HEIGHT IS MEASURED WITH RESPECT TO THE

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* A TSUNAMI IS A SERIES OF WAVES. THE TIME BETWEEN WAVE CRESTS
CAN VARY FROM 5 MINUTES TO AN HOUR. THE HAZARD MAY PERSIST FOR
MANY HOURS OR LONGER AFTER THE INITIAL WAVE.
* IMPACTS CAN VARY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM ONE SECTION OF COAST TO
THE NEXT DUE TO LOCAL BATHYMETRY AND THE SHAPE AND ELEVATION
OF THE SHORELINE.
* IMPACTS CAN ALSO VARY DEPENDING UPON THE STATE OF THE TIDE AT
THE TIME OF THE MAXIMUM TSUNAMI WAVES.
* PERSONS CAUGHT IN THE WATER OF A TSUNAMI MAY DROWN... BE
CRUSHED BY DEBRIS IN THE WATER... OR BE SWEPT OUT TO SEA.
TSUNAMI OBSERVATIONS...UPDATED

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* A TSUNAMI IS A SERIES OF WAVES. THE TIME BETWEEN WAVE CRESTS
CAN VARY FROM 5 MINUTES TO AN HOUR. THE HAZARD MAY PERSIST FOR
MANY HOURS OR LONGER AFTER THE INITIAL WAVE.
* IMPACTS CAN VARY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM ONE SECTION OF COAST TO
THE NEXT DUE TO LOCAL BATHYMETRY AND THE SHAPE AND ELEVATION
OF THE SHORELINE.
* IMPACTS CAN ALSO VARY DEPENDING UPON THE STATE OF THE TIDE AT
THE TIME OF THE MAXIMUM TSUNAMI WAVES.
* PERSONS CAUGHT IN THE WATER OF A TSUNAMI MAY DROWN... BE
CRUSHED BY DEBRIS IN THE WATER... OR BE SWEPT OUT TO SEA.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* A TSUNAMI IS A SERIES OF WAVES. THE TIME BETWEEN WAVE CRESTS
CAN VARY FROM 5 MINUTES TO AN HOUR. THE HAZARD MAY PERSIST FOR
MANY HOURS OR LONGER AFTER THE INITIAL WAVE.
* IMPACTS CAN VARY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM ONE SECTION OF COAST TO
THE NEXT DUE TO LOCAL BATHYMETRY AND THE SHAPE AND ELEVATION
OF THE SHORELINE.
* IMPACTS CAN ALSO VARY DEPENDING UPON THE STATE OF THE TIDE AT
THE TIME OF THE MAXIMUM TSUNAMI WAVES.
* PERSONS CAUGHT IN THE WATER OF A TSUNAMI MAY DROWN... BE
CRUSHED BY DEBRIS IN THE WATER... OR BE SWEPT OUT TO SEA.

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* A TSUNAMI IS A SERIES OF WAVES. THE TIME BETWEEN WAVE CRESTS
CAN VARY FROM 5 MINUTES TO AN HOUR. THE HAZARD MAY PERSIST FOR
MANY HOURS OR LONGER AFTER THE INITIAL WAVE.
* IMPACTS CAN VARY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM ONE SECTION OF COAST TO
THE NEXT DUE TO LOCAL BATHYMETRY AND THE SHAPE AND ELEVATION
OF THE SHORELINE.
* IMPACTS CAN ALSO VARY DEPENDING UPON THE STATE OF THE TIDE AT
THE TIME OF THE MAXIMUM TSUNAMI WAVES.
* PERSONS CAUGHT IN THE WATER OF A TSUNAMI MAY DROWN... BE
CRUSHED BY DEBRIS IN THE WATER... OR BE SWEPT OUT TO SEA.
TSUNAMI OBSERVATIONS...UPDATED
------------------------------
* THE FOLLOWING ARE TSUNAMI WAVE OBSERVATIONS FROM COASTAL

POTENTIAL IMPACTS
-----------------
* A TSUNAMI IS A SERIES OF WAVES. THE TIME BETWEEN WAVE CRESTS
CAN VARY FROM 5 MINUTES TO AN HOUR. THE HAZARD MAY PERSIST FOR
MANY HOURS OR LONGER AFTER THE INITIAL WAVE.
* IMPACTS CAN VARY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM ONE SECTION OF COAST TO
THE NEXT DUE TO LOCAL BATHYMETRY AND THE SHAPE AND ELEVATION
OF THE SHORELINE.
* IMPACTS CAN ALSO VARY DEPENDING UPON THE STATE OF THE TIDE AT
THE TIME OF THE MAXIMUM TSUNAMI WAVES.
* PERSONS CAUGHT IN THE WATER OF A TSUNAMI MAY DROWN... BE
CRUSHED BY DEBRIS IN THE WATER... OR BE SWEPT OUT TO SEA.
TSUNAMI OBSERVATIONS...UPDATED
------------------------------
* THE FOLLOWING ARE TSUNAMI WAVE OBSERVATIONS FROM COASTAL
AND/OR DEEP-OCEAN SEA LEVEL GAUGES AT THE INDICATED LOCATIONS.

FORECAST POINTS
AUTHORITIES SHOULD BE AWARE OF THIS POSSIBILITY.
FURTHERMORE THE EVALUATION OF TSUNAMIGENIC POTENTIAL AND ESTIMATED
