Description: | Datasets from temporary deploymentsNEAREST projectThe NEAREST project is addressed to the identification and characterization of potential tsunami sources located near shore in the Gulf of Cadiz; the improvement of near-real time detection of signals by a multiparameter seafloor observatory for the characterisation of potential tsunamigenic sources to be used in the development of an Early Warning System (EWS) Prototype; the improvement of integrated numerical models enabling more accurate scenarios of tsunami impact, and the production of accurate maps in selected areas of the Algarve (SW Portugal), highly hit by the 1755 tsunamis.It was funded by EC (GOCE, contract 037110), and included collaboration with numerous partners. We especially thank Luis Matias for his help.
