The recommendations of the UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) in the context of the infrastructure that is needed for tsunamis prediction in the Indian Ocean, as well as trends in instrumentation are discussed. A IOTWS (warning system for tsunamis in the Indian Ocean) is required with considerable urgency. The seabed pressure recorders, the standard instrument for measuring seabed pressure with high resolution, can detect a change of less than one centimeter. India also maintains an extensive network of buoys with other countries under the NDBP (National Data Buoys Programme). The NDBP has developed its own buoy system including a modified hull and integrated electronics more suited to local conditions. The implications of these developments are that high-resolution data could be made available from multiple monitoring stations throughout the region. A further critical importance of these high-resolution systems is that they can be used for detection of other wave events also.
