Figure 1

(a) The time series at DART observatories (From top to bottom sorted by the furthest to nearest to the epicenter, shown by the yellow star - Fig. 3). The approximate arrival time of compression waves in solid (P), shear waves in solid (S) and compression waves in water (L) and first peak arrival (green) are shown; (b) The range of wave period in a 4 hrs time window near the 1st peak (1 hr before, 3 hrs after). Red line (35 min) represents the mean for all stations, which is used for a sample computation, shown in Fig. 3; (c) that shows the discrepancy between the computed arrival time of tsunami waves from the full solution (Eq. 1) and standard dispersion relation for the case of incompressible ocean over rigid bottom as shown in Fig. 3 and (d) earlier arrival of the signals extracted from the incompressible models26,27,33,34 relative to the observations.
