I was recently aware of this event in the Atlantic, thought to have been produced in Horseshoe Fault, of magnitude ¿¿¿Mw=8.0??? but not found much references on this.
Why it was non-tsunamigenic? Please give references about this event, with description, impact on Spanish and Portuguese coasts and so on.
Some one provide the reference Gracia at al (2010) for this, but I do not have the full citation.
Hello prof Macias,
The 28 February 1969 Horseshoe tsunami was recorded by several tide gauges (Portugal, Spain and Morocco).
You can find the event description in the 'Revision of the Portuguese catalog of tsunamis' by Maria Ana Baptista and Miguel Miranda (2009). Fukao (1973) studied and published the earthquake source parameters. And, associated to the GEONUM project, we published a paper on the 1969 tsunamigenc earthquake - 'The Tagus 1969 tsunami simulation with a finite volume solver and the hydrostatic reconstruction technique' (2016) (where you can find more bibliographic references).
Best regards,
Cláudia Reis.
