Term Definition
Water Level (Maximum)

The difference in elevation between the highest local water mark and that of the sea-level at the time of the tsunami. This is different from maximum run-up because the water mark is often not observed at the inundation line, but maybe halfway up the side of a building or on a tree trunk.
