Le Plan directeur du Système d’alerte aux tsunamis dans le Pacifique est conçu comme un guide à long terme pour améliorer le Système en partant de l’analyse de ses composantes actuelles. Depuis 1987, des innovations technologiques telles que les réseaux de communication et techniques d’analyse sismique perfectionnés et l’avènement d’ordinateurs de bureau à la fois peu coûteux et très puissants avaient considérablement accru l’espoir de voir se concrétiser, au profit des États membres, les améliorations recommandées dans le Plan. 1, record 1, French, - Plan%20directeur%20du%20Syst%C3%A8me%20d%27alerte%20aux%20tsunamis%20dans%20le%20Pacifique

El Plan Básico del Sistema de Alerta contra los Tsunamis en el Pacífico tiene por objeto ser una guía a largo plazo para el mejoramiento de dicho sistema sobre la base del análisis de sus componentes existentes. Desde 1987 las innovaciones tecnológicas como el mejoramiento de las redes de comunicación, el perfeccionamiento de las técnicas de análisis sísmico y las minicomputadoras de bajo costo y alto rendimiento han incrementado considerablemente la expectativa de que los mejoramientos recomendados en el Plan puedan materializarse en beneficio de los Estados Miembros. 2, record 1, Spanish, - Plan%20B%C3%A1sico%20del%20Sistema%20de%20Alerta%20contra%20los%20Tsunamis%20en%20el%20Pac%C3%ADfico

Onde océanique superficielle, engendrée par un choc tellurique, comme un séisme, une éruption sous-marine, un glissement. 6, record 3, French, - tsunami

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Lorsqu'un séisme sous-marin ou une éruption volcanique se produisent, ils envoient une série de violentes ondes de choc dans toutes les directions. Le tsunami ainsi créé peut n'avoir que dix centimètres de hauteur en mer, mais cette vague parcourt plus de 8OO kilomètres à l'heure, passant sous les navires sans nécessairement être ressentie ou repérée. Lorsqu'elle atteint les eaux peu profondes d'une côte [...] la vague est alors freinée dans sa course par le rivage, et c'est alors que l'eau s'accumule pour former un véritable mur qui peut atteindre la hauteur d'un immeuble de dix étages. 7, record 3, French, - tsunami

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS

Les tsunamis, dénommés parfois «vagues sismiques océaniques» ou incorrectement «raz-de-marée» sont générés principalement par des séismes, parfois par des glissements de terrains sous-marins, plus rarement par des éruptions volcaniques et exceptionnellement par l'impact d'un gros météorite dans l'océan. 8, record 3, French, - tsunami

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 OBS

[...] le raz-de-marée n'a rien à voir avec les marées, qui sont provoquées, par l'attraction de la lune et du soleil; le raz de marée est provoqué par des événements d'origine terrestre. [...] Pour éviter l'association fausse avec les marées, les scientifiques préfèrent le mot «tsunami», officialisé en 1963. 9, record 3, French, - tsunami

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 3 OBS

Le mot japonais, combinaison des caractères tsu (port) et nami (vague), a été francisé et prend donc un «s» au pluriel. 10, record 3, French, - tsunami

The Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre (PTWC) in Hawaii has overall responsibility for issuing tsunami advices and warnings to ITSU members. It is operated by the National Weather Service of the USA. It advises appropriate authorities of the occurrence of an earthquake, and indicates whether or not a tsunami has been confirmed and provides estimates of travel time across the Pacific. It is not however in a position to predict actual run-up heights for the eventual landfall of a tsunami in Australia, as this depends on the complexities of coastal geography and offshore bathymetry. 1, record 13, English, - Pacific%20Tsunami%20Warning%20Center
