Houston JR, Carver RD, Markle DG. 1977. Tsunami-wave elevation frequency of occurrence for the Hawaiian Islands. Technical Report H-77-16. US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station, Hydraulics Laboratory. Vicksburg, MS

An investigation was undertaken to establish frequency-of-occurrence curves for tsunami-wave elevations near the shoreline for the Hawaiian Islands. A hybrid finite element numerical model was used to supplement historical data in determining the ten largest tsunami elevations from 1837 to 1976 at locations along the coastline of the islands.
