NASA and French satellite SWOT captured high-resolution images of a Pacific tsunami caused by a 2025 earthquake, revealing complex wave patterns and challenging traditional models that treat large tsunamis as non-dispersive. The data suggest that dispersion plays a significant role in tsunami behavior, which could improve future forecasting and hazard assessment by integrating satellite, buoy, seismic, and geodetic data. This breakthrough highlights the need to update tsunami models to account for wave dispersion and internal structure.
