AB: Deep Ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis (DART) buoys have demonstrated their value in providing the appropriate data to forecast tsunamis in real time. The NOAA experimental tsunami forecast system has used real-time DART data with impressive accuracies for the Tonga Island, May 2006, Kurile Island, November 2006, Kurile Island, January 2007, Solomon Island April, 2007, and Peru, August 2007 tsunamis. Recent developments in DART technology hold promise for reduced costs to operate and maintain the current array of 35 DART buoys. Details of the new technology and costs savings will be presented.
