DESCRIPTION
r.tsunami allow to assess the maximum vertical height
of the tsunami wave at the coast (run-up) and the subsequent
inundation on the mainland.The procedure takes into account local
morphological characteristics,vegetation and urbanization
through the usage of digital terrain model and roughness raster
maps.
NOTES
The digital terrain model raster map must contain null values at sea level.
