Abstract: This paper describes the implementation of a communications system of low cost for early detection of extreme tide level variation in the Colombian Pacific Coast. A pressure sensor acquires data of tide level in situ. These data are transmitted UHF through of an antenna system to a receiver station such are processed and displayed in near real time through of a Tsunami Detect software which predicts and compares the tide level based on the calculation of the astronomical tide. The energy supply system is achieved through batteries and solar panels which can monitor different parts of Tumaco bay (Colombia), taking into account the vulnerabilities of this area of the Pacific in the presence of a tsunami.

Keywords: Tide level, Tsunami Detect, Astronomical Tide.

Resumen: El presente trabajo describe la implementación de un sistema de alerta temprana de tsunami teniendo en cuenta la variación extrema del nivel de la marea, para lo cual se utilizo un sensor oceanográfico de presión (SBE-50) el cual adquiere datos correspondientes al nivel del mar in situ; tales datos se transmiten punto a punto vía UHF hacia una estación receptora para que finalmente los datos recibidos sean procesados y visualizados en tiempo cuasi real a través del software Tsunami Detect el cual predice y compara el nivel de marea basado en el cálculo de la marea astronómica. El suministro energético del sistema se logra a través de baterías y paneles solares lo cual permitirá monitorear diferentes puntos de la bahía de Tumaco (Colombia) teniendo en cuenta la vulnerabilidad que presenta esta zona geográfica del pacífico ante la presencia de un evento tsunamigenico.

Palabras clave: Nivel de marea, Tsunami Detect, Marea astronómica.
