I noticed that DART almost always gives false tsunami alerts to the public. I analyzed the tsunami alerts in 2012. There were five tsunami alerts. All of them were false. According to the methodology used, a tsunami alert is received on the basis of the first burst of bottom pressure (red burst). Chart 1 attached. We checked the correctness of the methodology (attached graph 2). We studied the results of registration of changes in bottom pressure after the earthquake in Japan М=9.2. at the "close" - green line and "remote" red line buoy stations. It can be seen that the first wave from an earthquake arrives at a remote station (red line) and only then at a nearby station (green line). We calculated with what speed the first wave arrives at different DART buoy stations. The map is shown in (#2). The arrival speed of the first wave is 1.1-3.9 km/s. Now the main thing. The maximum speed of a tsunami is 0.25 km/s. The first wave that hits the DART station is not a tsunami.
