In this paper, we present a scenario-based approach for tsunami hazard assessment for the city and harbour of Sines \u2013 Portugal, one of the test-sites of project ASTARTE. Sines holds one of the most important deep-water ports which contains oil-bearing, petrochemical, liquid bulk, coal and container terminals. The port and its industrial infrastructures are facing the ocean southwest towards the main seismogenic sources. This work considers two different seismic zones: the Southwest Iberian Margin and the Gloria Fault. Within these two regions, we selected a total of six scenarios to assess the tsunami impact at the test site. The tsunami simulations are computed using NSWING a Non-linear Shallow Water Model With Nested Grids. In this study, the static effect of tides is analysed for three different tidal stages MLLW (mean lower low water), MSL (mean sea level) and MHHW (mean higher high water). For each scenario, inundation is described by maximum values of wave height, flow depth, drawback, runup and inundation distance. Synthetic waveforms are computed at virtual tide gauges at specific locations outside and inside the harbour. The final results describe the impact at Sines test site considering the single scenarios at mean sea level, the aggregate scenario and the influence of the tide on the aggregate scenario. The results confirm the composite of Horseshoe and Marques Pombal fault as the worst case scenario. It governs the aggregate scenario with about 60 % and inundates an area of 3.5 km2.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5194\/nhessd-3-4663-2015","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,8,7]],"date-time":"2015-08-07T09:16:28Z","timestamp":1438938988000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Scenario based approach for multiple source Tsunami Hazard assessment for Sines, Portugal"],"prefix":"10.5194","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"Wronna","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6198-7588","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"R.","family":"Omira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6381-703X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"M.
