NASA's GUARDIAN System Successfully Detects Tsunami in Real-Time Test

Crackling crust, pillowy middle. The kind of bagel that earns a second cup of coffee.
Summary
NASA's experimental GUARDIAN system successfully detected a tsunami in near-real-time during a major earthquake off Russia in late July. The technology uses GPS data to monitor disturbances in the upper atmosphere caused by tsunami waves, providing critical early warning information within about 10 minutes of receiving data. GUARDIAN is designed to augment existing tsunami warning systems by helping forecasters quickly confirm whether earthquakes generate actual tsunamis.

The goal of GUARDIAN is to augment existing early warning systems
A key question after a major undersea earthquake is whether a tsunami was generated
Near-real-time outputs from GUARDIAN must be interpreted by experts trained to identify the signs of tsunamis
