Fonseca, J. F. B. D., 2020. A Reassessment of the Magnitude of the 1755 Lisbon Earthquake. Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 110 (1), 1-17. https://doi.org/10.1785/0120190198
► Abstract
The 1755 Lisbon earthquake is still poorly understood due to its offshore location and complex macroseismic intensity pattern. Gutenberg and Richter (1949) tentatively assigned a magnitude between 8¾ and 9 judging from an estimated perceptibility radius of 2500 km. More recent attempts to estimate the magnitude from isoseismal areas led to results in the 8.5–8.7 range. These values have been adopted in several studies of the seismic hazard of southwest Iberia. In this article, I use the available macroseismic data—a total of 1206 data points from Portugal, Spain, and Morocco—to reassess the magnitude of the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. Because a training set of instrumental earthquakes was not available, I apply the technique of Bakun and Wentworth (1997) in conjunction with the ground‐motion model of Atkinson and Wald (2007), which was selected through comparison with the 1969 M 7.8 Gorringe bank earthquake data. I obtain a moment magnitude of 7.7±0.5⁠, significantly lower than previous results. The epicentral location obtained with this analysis is offshore southwest Iberia—as expected given the tsunami effects—but poorly constrained. Based on the pattern of intensity data outliers, I suggest that the source was complex and spatially distributed, with part of the rupture taking place onshore or inshore. I propose an explanation for the large tsunamigenic power of the earthquake, which invokes the basal rupture of the Gulf of Cadiz accretionary prism. Finally, I discuss the implications for hazard assessment of the type of complex rupture proposed.

Euro-Mediterranean Tsunami Catalogue v2.0

Maramai, A., Graziani, L., Brizuela, B. (2019). Euro-Mediterranean Tsunami Catalogue (EMTC), version 2.0. Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV). https://doi.org/10.13127/TSUNAMI/EMTC.2.0

► Abstract

A unified catalogue containing 293 tsunamis generated in the European and Mediterranean seas since 6150 B.C. to current days is presented. It is the result of a systematic and detailed review of all the regional catalogues available in literature covering the study area, each of them having their own format and level of accuracy. The realization of a single catalogue covering a so wide area and involving several countries was a complex task that posed a series of challenges, being the standardization and the quality of the data the most demanding. A “reliability” value was used to rate equally the quality of the data for each event and this parameter was assigned based on the trustworthiness of the information related to the generating cause, the tsunami description accuracy and also on the availability of coeval bibliographical sources. Following these criteria we included in the catalogue events whose reliability ranges from 0 (“very improbable tsunami”) to 4 (“definite tsunami”). About 900 documentary sources, including historical documents, books, scientific reports, newspapers and previous catalogues, support the tsunami data and descriptions gathered in this catalogue. As a result, in the present paper a list of the 290 tsunamis with their main parameters is reported. The online version of the catalogue, available at http://roma2.rm.ingv.it/en/facilities/data_bases/52/catalogue_of_the_euro-mediterranean_tsunamis, provides additional information such as detailed descriptions, pictures, etc. and the complete list of bibliographical sources. Most of the included events have a high reliability value (3= “probable” and 4= “definite”) which makes the Euro-Mediterranean Tsunami Catalogue an essential tool for the implementation of tsunami hazard and risk assessment.

▼ Descrizione dell'eventoEvent description

Earthquake coordinates and origin time from the IGN seismic catalogue (Instituto Geografico Nacional). Earthquake magnitude and intensity (MSK scale) from Baptista et al. (2003a). Catastrophic earthquake, with tsunami observed all over the north Atlantic area (from Barbados to Cornwall). Tsunami descriptions from all over Europe, but the most important reports from Portugal, Spain and Morocco. It is believed to be one of the strongest earthquakes ever reported (Richter, 1958, assigned it magnitude 8.25-8.75). Lisbon downtown was completely destroyed by the earthquake and flooded by the tsunami. Number of casualties due to the tsunami were more than 900. Max water elevation > 6 m; wave period 10 min, penetration distance 250-300 m, first movement positive, (Baptista et al., 1998). Baptista and Miranda (2009) report that at Lisbon estuary the water in the sea rose several times, and in a few minutes made three fluxes and refluxes rising above the highest spring tide two spans or fifteen English feet. “[. . . ] the sea retreated, showing its bottom along the margins never seen before” (Mendonca, 1758). According to an anonymous letter dated the 18 November 1755 (Nozes, 1990). “[. . . ] suddenly I heard a great uproar: “the sea is rising” [. . . ] suddenly an enormous water mass appeared at a close distance rising like a mountain [. . . ]”. Three years later, Mendonca (1758) describes: “[. . . ] all of a sudden the sea entered the bar with a furious inundation [. . . ] however crossing the previous limits, overtopped many buildings and inundated Sao Paulo quarter [. . . ]”. Silva (1756) describes “[. . . ] it flooded in some places with its flux and reflux [. . . ] the Custom House, the Terreiro and the Vedoria [. . . ]”. These (and similar) descriptions allow to conclude that the water invaded Lisbon downtown in approximately 250 m, being contained partially by the old city wall built by King D. Fernando. Max water elevation >5 m, three waves, first movement positive. Along the south Portuguese coast (Algarve) several dwellings disappeared. At Lagos the sea flooded the shore with wave heights of 7 varas ~ 8 m (1 vara ~ 1.1m) destroying the city walls, D.J. M.F. (1756). The sea penetrated more than half a league carrying small boats, destroying crops, a small chapel and a bridge. The run up height was 11 meters, at the city walls. The sea destroyed the city walls in different places running into the city for more than 50 “passos”. Run-up 8-11 m at city walls, run-in 700-900 m (Baptista and Miranda, 2009). At Cape San Vicente three waves, max water elevation 30 m, max withdrawal 2500 m, first movement positive. Reports describe 10-15m waves at Cape St. Vincent and along the Gulf of Cadiz (Baptista and Miranda, 2009). At Sagres max water elevation 10-30 m, first movement negative. At Boca do Rio max water elevation 11-13 m, max withdrawal 2500 m, first movement positive. At Porto the river rose and fell surprisingly every quarter of an hour, for upwards of four hours at least, for or five feet, and sometimes more (Ellicot, 1757). In the Gentlemen's magazine we can read: “[. . . ] The effect it had on the river was amazing; the tide rose considerably higher than was ever known except in case of flood; and the flux and reflux was so sudden, that in a minute or two it rose and fell five or six feet and continued for two or three hours. “[. . . ] It ran up at the first with so much violence that it broke a Dutchman's hawser. Two of our Brazil fleet were going out, and had got to the bar, but the sea was so violently affected, that it forced them in again; they ran foul of each other, and were greatly damaged. The agitation was so great in the sea about a league beyond the bar, that, ‘tis imagined the air got vent there“[. . . ] (Urban, 1755). Maximum water elevation 1.2-1.5 m. Three waves, first sea movement positive (Baptista and Miranda, 2009). According to Baptista and Miranda (2009), the Gentleman's Magazine of 1755 quotes a letter dated 4 December from Utrecht where we can read that in Setubal: “[. . . ] Letters by the last post advice that no traces are left of St Ubes [Setubal], the repeated shocks and the vast surf of the sea having jointly concurred to swallow it up. It could the less withstand them, as it was situate at the head of a little gulf formed by the tide at the mouth of the [Sado] . . . ” (Urban, 1755). The Sea destroyed the city walls entering the city almost a quarter of a mile, carrying the boats to the streets (in Pereira de Sousa, 1919). The sea carried 2 boats for more than 50 steps (_45 m) in land. At Figueira maximum water elevation 8m, three waves run-in 30-40 m, first movement positive. Baptista and Miranda (2009), quoting the Arquivos do Ministério do Reino (1756), report that by 10 o'clock and a quarter of the day, it started rising such water mounts [. . . ] growing above the natural order 44 palms, more or less [. . . ] for 3 or 4 times [. . . ] uncovering rocks and sand never seen before [. . . ]. At Oeiras Camaxide three waves, max water elevation 7 m first movement positive, one victim. At Madeira Baptista and Miranda (2009) report that about an hour and a half after the shock had ceased, the sea, which was calm was observed to retire suddenly some paces then suddenly advancing, overflowed the shore, and entered into the city. It arose full fifteen feet perpendicular above high water mark (...)” (Heberden, 1756) [. . . ] the sea all on a sudden rises as though it were the main body of it. At Machico and Porto da Cruz when the sea recoiled, it was so far from its usual limits, as to discover the foundation of rocks, that never had been seen and which lay as far distant from the shore as our islet [. . . ] the distance referred from the shore to the islet, something more than 200 yards (Chambers, 1757). ) At Madeira max water elevation 4.5 m, first sea movement positive. At Porto Santo max water elevation 4.5 m, first movement negative, run-in 400m, travel time 90 min (Baptista et al., 1998). Baptista and Miranda (2009), quoting Anais de Porto Santo, in Pereira de Sousa (1919) report that the sea come out of its ordinary limits, about 10 o'clock, in the morning, running in a quarter mile [. . . ] to a place called Estanco Velho. In spite of the fact that this is not a coeval source the results are coherent with the reports of Madeira Island. At Albufeira those that escaped the earthquake could not escape from the sea” (MDJF, 1756). The priest reports in “Memórias Paroquiais”(IANTT, 1758) [. . . ]the sea out of its limits entered the city and took all the quartier of Saint Ana, that included 7 streets, and many more houses, without leaving, in its flux and reflux any sign of the houses and made many casualties [. . . ]. The newspaper Gazeta de Lisboa (1755), reports: ”[. . . ]when the sea retreated took the fortress [. . . ] and the whole city of Albufeira [. . . ] leaving lots of fish in fields [. . . ] (Baptista and Miranda, 2009). Baptista and Miranda (2009) report that the city of Faro was protected against tsunami effects. According to the report of Castro (1786): “[. . . ] Faro had the fortune that its river was on low tide [. . . ]. We could see the rising of the waves at the coast in such height that each one (all together) mounted the island without splitting itself. Entering the river [. . . ] distributed in an number of foam waves[. . . ]in the city they cause minor impression, where the waters did not exceed the limits of a great tide [. . . ]” (Castro, 1786). “[. . . ] suffered the same calamity, submerging half of the place with all their houses never seen afterwards [. . . ] (MDJF, 1756). Baptista and Miranda (2009), quoting Costa et al. (2005) that report Relacam, 1756, write that at Monte Gordo - Tavira,- The waves took all the huts from Monte Gordo beach, where there was commerce of fisheries, till the Conceicao de Tavira, and destroyed all the islands (barrier islands) on the shore till Quarteira . At Castro Marim the sea incursion made remarkable damage (MDJF, 1756). In the Azores islands the earthquake was felt in most of the islands but no damage. The sea made violent fluxes and refluxes, at Terceira island; some ships were in danger here (Mendonca, 1758). Travel time 100 min. According to Andrade et al. (2006) at Terceira “a flood occurred, which drowned the southern low-lying fields leaving behind many kinds of fish.... The flood severely damaged the southern coast of this island, destroying many houses, infilling pastures and farm land, obstructing roads and demolishing fortifications.”. At Porto Judeu the sea level raised ten palms [2.20 m] above the highest stack, an extraordinary and never seen tidal flow and ebb and the ebb was so low that the mooring anchors of the ships have been left dry (Andrade et al., 2006). At Angra the flood reached the Praca dos Cosmes [main square, circa 250 m inland and 15 m elevation] and the ebb left some of the ships aground, destroyed the walls of the customs building and swept offshore all the vessels beached at Porto das Pipas (Andrade et al., 2006). At Vila da Praia, on the eastern coast of Terceira, similar descriptions of three “unprecedented tides” are reported as well as “the retreat of the sea during a large amount of time.each flood rushed trough the port of this village and drowned the Paul da Praia [wetland located 750 m inland].until the place of Ribeira Seca [6-7 km alongshore southward] demolishing 15 houses a fundamentis (Andrade et al., 2006). According to Andrade et al. (2006) at Flores and Corvo falling of the sea out of its natural course, leaving the seafloor uncovered for a distance [sic] of more than 100 fathoms and rushing back inland for the same distance or slightly less. At S. Miguel island rushing of the sea trough the streets of Ponta Delgada ruining many constructions; maximum runup height of 4-5 m judging from the present-day morphology (Andrade et al., 2006). At Faial, three progressively higher waves flooded the shore drowning the ribeira da Conceicao [Conceicao creek] mills with a water height of 8 palms [1.76 m] and then receded so much that the ships' keel almost touched the bottom of the sea.several boats and a brigantine that were beached have been swept offshore (Andrade et al., 2006). The greatest waves observed at Lisbon (Tagus estuary, run-up of 5 m), in Algarve (run-up about 10), at Cadiz (run-up about 15 m), in Madeira (run-up about 4 m) and in north Morocco. In England historical observations by Borlase (1755) and Borlase (1765) describe the arrival of the tsunami in Mount's Bay Cornwall: 4 waves, the rebounds of the sea continuing for two hours. At Larmorna cove, Cornwall, eye-witness accounts of the arrival of this tsunami (Edmonds, 1846). According to Dawson et al. (2000) large rounded blocks of granite from below low-water mark were swept along like pebbles, and many of them deposited far beyond high water mark. One large block, weighting probably 6 or 8 ton, was borne repeatedly to and fro several feet above the level of high water, and at length deposited about ten feet above that level in the stream, where it still lies. In Scilly islands sand sheets were deposited (Huxham, 1755; Foster et al., 1993). The duration of tsunami inundation is estimated to have lasted for 4 h from circa 2 p.m. until 6 p.m. (Dawson et al., 2000). An estimate of the tsunami run-up (2-3 m) has been made by Foster et al. (1991). At Plymouth in Stonehouse Creek sediment deposition observed (Huxham, 1755). In Norway seiches in several lakes, and large motions along the coast (probably also seiches rather than the original tsunami), were observed (Spidberg, 1758; Jørstad, 1968; Strøm, 1766). Dawson et al. (2000) refer that there is some evidence to indicate that the Lisbon 1755 tsunami was not solely caused by a seabed fault. Recently a large turbidite/submarine slide complex has been identified on the seafloor adjacent to the Gorringe Bank and tentatively dated to AD 1755. This discovery raises the possibility that the tsunami was partly generated by an earthquake-triggered fault on the seabed and partly by a submarine sediment sliding.
