The Honshu tsunami was generated by a Mw 8.9 earthquake (38.322\u00b0N, 142.369\u00b0E ), at 05:46 UTC, 130 km (80 miles) E of Sendai, Honshu, Japan (according to the\u00a0USGS<\/span>). In approximately 25 minutes, the tsunami was first recorded at DART\u00ae buoy 21418. Forecast results shown below were created with the\u00a0NOAA forecast method<\/span> using\u00a0MOST model<\/span> with the tsunami source inferred from\u00a0DART\u00ae<\/span> data.<\/em><\/p>\n

          \nand along U.S. coastlines with forecasts obtained from high-resolution forecast model runs.
          \nThe forecast models were run in real time before the tsunami reached the locations shown.
          \nThe model data for Hawaii and the U.S. West Coast show 6 to 9 minute early arrival (less than
          \n1.5% error accumulated during the propagation simulation). The plots show model data for
          \nthose locations with time shifted later for the comparison purposes. (see References, below).<\/li>\n
