Editorial statement
This study introduces the simulation-based global dataset, TSUSY, that systematically links earthquake characteristics to tsunami occurrence, providing an unprecedented foundation for understanding the global-scale tsunamigenic potential. It further advances the field by developing a robust, operationally relevant tsunami-occurrence criterion that enhances real-time decision-making and balances missed events and false alarms in tsunami warning systems.

Short summary
Tsunamis can have devastating consequences, yet it remains challenging to identify which earthquakes generate them. This study presents a criterion for identifying tsunamigenic events based on numerical simulations, as well as a global database of tsunami simulations based on historical earthquakes. By comparing the results with historical records, this approach can improve tsunami identification and support tsunami warnings worldwide.
