A massive 8.8 magnitude earthquake near Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula triggered a rare tsunami — and NASA’s SWOT satellite captured it like never before.<br /><br />Just 70 minutes after the quake, the SWOT satellite recorded the wave’s height, shape, and movement — offering scientists real-world data that could revolutionize tsunami forecasting. Even a wave just 1.5 feet tall in the deep ocean can become a 30-foot wall of water near the coast.<br /><br />This breakthrough helps NOAA fine-tune their tsunami warning systems, potentially saving lives in future disasters. It’s a major step forward in our ability to predict and prepare for these deadly natural events. :water_wave:<br /><br />Watch how this space-based technology is changing the game for coastal safety and disaster response.<br />WooGlobe Ref : WGA704137<br />For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com
