Progress in Earth and Planetary Science

Table 3 Comparison of the geometric means of observed trace heights or tsunami deposits to the simulation results

Model	Mw	Trace heights	Sediment thickness of tsunami deposits
Model	Mw	Trace heights	Idagawa Lowland	Sendai plain
1	9.0	0.88	1.13	0.84
2	9.0	1.20	1.01	0.94
3	8.8	U 1.82	U 1.47	O 0.66
4	8.8	U 1.76	U 9.25	U 1.79
5	9.0	U 1.89	U 2.17	U 1.35
6	9.0	U 2.03	U 5.85	U 1.48
7	9.0	U 1.62	U 5.48	U 1.96
8	9.0	U 1.46	U 2.71	0.85
9	9.1	1.04	U 1.49	O 0.51
10	9.1	1.07	U 1.62	O 0.55
11	9.1	1.04	U 1.45	0.86
12	9.1	1.00	U 2.36	O 0.51

The symbols (U, O) show that the simulations were underestimated (K > 1.2), or were overestimated (K < 0.8), where K is the geometric mean (Aida 1978)
