As the full extent of the temblor became clear, tsunami-monitoring buoys in the Pacific began confirming that the earthquake had generated tsunamis. At 3:19 P.M. a Deep-Ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunami (DART) buoy off the Japan coast registered a passing wave more than a meter high in the deep ocean. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration maintains a network of 39 DART buoys, 32 of them in the Pacific, each of which comprises a seafloor pressure sensor and a floating buoy that beams wave measurements to satellites.
