estimate tsunami potential by computing seismic moment. This system
holds promise for a new generation of local tsunami warning
systems. Shuto (Japan) described his conversion of !ida's
definition of tsunami magnitude to local tsunami efforts. For
example, i l = 2 would equal 4 m local wave height, which would
destroy wooden houses and damage most fishing boats. SimOes
(Portugal) reported on a seamount-based seismic system that was
located in the tsunami source area for Portugal. In summary, the
risk of tsunami hazard appears to be more widespread than the
Pacific Ocean Basin. It appears that underwater slumps are an
important component in tsunami generation. Finally, new
technologies are emerging that would be used in a new generation of
tsunami warning systems. These are exciting times for tsunami
researchers. OBSERVATIONS TSUNAMI DISPERSION OBSERVED IN THE DEEP

per. 6 Moscow 119034, Russia CIS The amplitude and frequency
modulation observed in bottom pressure records of the 6 March 1988
Alaskan Bight tsunami are shown to be due to dispersion as
predicted by linear wave theory. The simple wave model developed
for comparison with the data is also consistent with an important
qualitative feature of the sea floor displacement pattern which is
predicted by a seismic fault plane deformation model, i. e. the
existence of a western-subsidence/eastern-uplift dipole.
