[Coral-List] Distressing news for the whole Pacific Ocean.

[Carey Morishige - NOAA Affiliate]

Hi everyone,

Just a note of clarification on the NOAA image that is used in the article.
That image shows the modeled maximum wave heights generated by the
devastating 2011 tsunami in Japan -- not radiation. If you look closely,
the scale on the right hand side is in centimeters.

The original image is here:

And more information about these modeling results can be found here:

Cheers,
