Usage and Limitations
35+
---------------------
36+
The above publication should be consulted for information on how the data was
37+
derived, and associated limitations. That study emphasises that global analyses
38+
are not recommended for use in local-scale risk assessment.
39+
40+
41+
Shapefile Attributes
42+
--------------------
43+
44+
- Attributes with the title "rate_N" (i.e. rate_5, rate_10, rate_25, ...., rate_2000) give the mean exceedance rate (events/year) corresponding to a tsunami runup height of 5, 10, 25, ... 2000 **centimeters**.
45+
46+
- Attributes with the title "ariN" (i.e. ari10, ari50, ari100, ..., ari2500) give the tsunami runup height (meters) corresponding to events with mean exceedance rate (events/year) of 1/10, 1/50, 1/100, .... 1/2500.
47+
- In all cases, the runup heights are between [0.1, 20] meters. Values of 0.1 should be interpreted as "<= 0.1", and values of 20 should be interpreted as ">= 20".
48+
49+
There are also a few other attributes (limited between 0.1 and 20, as above):
50+
- ari500P gives the upper 95% credible interval limit for the 1/500 runup height (m) [see bottom panel of Figure 7 of Davies et al. (2017)]
51+
- ari500M gives the lower 95% credible interval limit for the 1/500 runup height (m) [see top panel of Figure 7 of Davies et al. (2017)]
52+
- ari500LL gives the 1/500 runup height (m) that would be calculated using 'sigma=0.5' [see top panel of Figure 8 in Davies et al. 2017]
53+
- ari500LZ gives the 1/500 runup height (m) that would be calculated using 'sigma=0.0' [see bottom panel of Figure 8 in Davies et al. 2017]
