    Abstract: A method of underwater tsunami detection includes detecting a trigger event using disruption of at least one of a plurality of hard disk drives (HDDs), each different one of the plurality of HDDs in a different one of a plurality of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). A time and location of each of the at least one HDD for the trigger event is logged. Based on at least one of the HDD disruptions, times, and locations of the at least one HDD of the plurality of HDDs, a size, strength, and direction of a tsunami caused by the trigger event is determined. Information regarding the tsunami is transmitted to a monitoring station.
