## A. INCLUDED ITEMS:
1. subsea_telecom_cables.dat
Geographic coordinates of nominal locations of subsea
telecom cables. This is a two-column ASCII file with
(longitude,latitude) pairs, for all cable segments.
The file is readable with most mapping programs such
as GMT (Generic Mapping Tools; Wessel et al, 2013).
'>' lines separate cable segments and branches.
2. subsea_telecom_cables.mp4
The movie shows global distribution of subsea telecom
cables, interpolated to 1 degree. The map is color-coded
according to population (NASA-SEDAC); scale bar shows
population per square km. Visualization is done using GMT.
3. SMART.xy
Geographic coordinates of our proposed SMART* array.
4. README.txt
Description of contents (this file).
* SMART (Scientific Monitoring And Reliable Telecommunications)
networks are telecommunication cables equipped with scientific
sensors such as accelerometer, pressure sensors, etc.
## B. DESCRIPTION:
This material accompanies a set of exploratory numerical experiments based
on ocean bottom pressure and seismic data from a simulated linear array
of SMART (Scientific Monitoring And Reliable Telecommunication) cable
stations off the trench in the Sumatra-Java region. We use a set of
earthquake rupture as well as submarine landslide scenarios to calculate
tsunami propagation via hydrodynamic simulations. We also investigate the
contribution of SMART stations to improvement of earthquake early warning
by calculating the arrival times of seismic phases. Existing telecom cables
can also contribute to the SMART network, if they are equipped with scientific
sensors and repeaters. In this study we use the MOST (Method of Splitting
Tsunami; Titov et al, 2016) to simulate tsunamis, and the TauP toolkit
(Crotwell et al, 1999) to calculate seismic arrival times.
