Comments on the current tsunami benchmark problems

benchmark site: nctr.pmel.noaa.gov/benchmark/

We have encountered a number of difficulties in performing the benchmark tests described at the above website and in the references below, either from incompletely specified data or from ambiguities in the description of the target solution.

If you have data that might help in this process, please contact Randy LeVeque (rjl at uw.edu) or Frank González (figonzal at uw.edu).

Specific comments on each of the benchmark problems can be found on the webpages we have created for each example, see the index.

We also believe that additional benchmark problems are needed to allow better verification, validation, and comparison of tsunami codes in the future. [Suggested problems].
