Re: Hence the need for an hydroacoustic crosscheck.
Which you are reluctant to contact the Swiss station about.
Indeed, because that Swiss station relies on the following guys to get the data (via a satellite link):
dg.navy.mil
Now, remember that even you have intimated that, unless one speaks Hebrew(*), requesting info from Diego Garcia personnel would be a waste of time... So, tell me, what prompted you to change your mind and believe that the Swiss have been fed with reliable hydroacoustic data by the US Navy?
In the same line of thought, did you puzzle out the following snippet (from my post #54)?
3. My request to purchase satellite pictures of the earthquake from digitalglobe.com got this response:
"We do not have imagery over the ocean where the tsunami originated. However, we do have imagery over the Asian regions affected by the tsunami with numerous resources available on our website for obtaining or observing this imagery listed below."
Isn't it dumbfounding? That outfit, digitalglobe.com (**), would supply you with all the pics of Aceh's coastal areas before and after the tsunami... yet, it's impossible for them to dig up satellite pics from the "epicenter" itself --how come?
