The South East Aegean Sea is seismically active with crustal and intermediate-depth earthquakes of magnitude that can exceed the magnitude M_w = 7. On July 20, 2017, a shallow normal faulting M_w = 6.6 earthquake occurred in the Gulf of Gökova, 10 km away from the cities of Kos and Bodrum. A tsunami hit the coasts of Turkey and Kos Island with waves of up to 2 m that damaged several harbors. Based on the field surveys and the tide-gauge records of Bodrum, Syros and Kos harbors, we performed tsunami simulations to constrain the source and analyze the North v/s South-dipping solutions for the fault plane. Depending on the source model, the simulations show different height distributions which provide complementary constrains on the source parameters, helping the characterization of the fault plane. The comparison between our maximum wave heights models and the field data favor the North-dipping fault scenario. When using only the constraint of the Bodrum tide-gauge, our models lead to a source with a 0.7 m fault slip, incompatible with the slip inferred from geodesy. When using the constrain from neighboring coastal wave heights and run-up recovered during field surveys, the best fit is obtained with a 2 m fault slip scenario consistent with the geodetic models. There is a 0.25 m mean difference between observed and synthetic water heights that could be due to the unaccuracy of the bathymetry data.

东南爱琴海地震活跃，地壳地震和中深度地震的震级可超过 M _w  = 7。 2017 年 7 月 20 日，一个浅层正断层 M _w = 6.6 级地震发生在距科斯和博德鲁姆市 10 公里的 Gökova 湾。海啸袭击了土耳其和科斯岛的海岸，海浪高达 2 m，损坏了几个港口。基于对博德鲁姆、锡罗斯和科斯港的实地调查和测潮记录，我们进行了海啸模拟以约束源并分析断层面的北 v/s 南倾解。根据震源模型，模拟显示不同的高度分布，提供对震源参数的互补约束，有助于断层面的表征。我们的最大波高模型与现场数据之间的比较有利于北倾断层情景。当仅使用博德鲁姆潮汐计的约束时，我们的模型会导致一个具有 0.7 m 断层滑动的源，与大地测量推断的滑移不相容。当使用来自邻近海岸波高和野外调查期间恢复的爬升的约束时，最好的拟合是与大地测量模型一致的 2 m 断层滑动场景。观测到的和合成的水高之间存在 0.25 m 的平均差异，这可能是由于测深数据的不准确造成的。
