Abstract

An approximate solution of the inverse problem of tsunami is given. For the initial data, the marigram with the first registration of the Japanese tsunami of March 11, 2011 on the DART station 21418 and the first registration of the tsunami on the South Ivate GPS buoy are taken. The potential model of tsunami with a simple source of the piston type is used, and estimates for the geographical coordinates of the epicenter and the two characteristic parameters tsunami source are given.
