Abstract
Tsunami‐induced resonance has been a topic of significant interest. However, usually the focus isset in understanding the response from either specific or a few events, which may prevent generalization ofwhether strong bathymetric control occurs. Here, 19 locations and 16 tsunamis were analyzed using standardmethods. A set of statistical parameters was introduced to aid in the assessment, leading to the categorization ofbays in terms of their resonant capacities. Next, the morphology of these locations was analyzed to identify thetype of features driving this response. Adding to other well‐known features, it was found that the steepness ofthe headlands defining a bay in planform is relevant in isolating it from surrounding coasts, thereby enhancingits filtering capacity
