The 26 December 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake of Mw 9.3 triggered a massive tsunami in the Indian Ocean. We here report on observations of the tsunami at broadband seismic stations located on islands in the area. The density of broadband stations is expected to increase rapidly in the area in an effort of building a powerful earthquake monitoring and tsunami warning system. Such ocean island and coastal broadband stations may unexpectedly become useful tsunami detectors as well.
