Tsunami model amplitude information is shown color-coded according the scale bar. The graphics to the left display forecast results, showing qualitative and quantitative information about the tsunami, including tsunami wave interaction with ocean floor bathymetric features, and neighboring coastlines. The tsunami waves first arrived at Valparaiso, Chile (approximately 330 km northeast from earthquake epicenter ), at 0708UTC, about 34 minutes after the earthquake. Forecast results shown below were created with the NOAA forecast method using MOST model with the tsunami source inferred from DART® data. In approximately 3 hours, the tsunami was first recorded at DART® buoy 32412. The Chile tsunami was generated by a Mw 8.8 earthquake (36.122°S 72.898°W ), at 06:34:11 UTC, 115 km (60 miles) NNE of Concepcion, Chile (according to the USGS).
