NOAA does a lot of cool stuff.

Data collected from Deep-ocean Assessment and Reporting of Tsunamis (DART) and modeled with the Method of Splitting Tsunami (MOST) model.

Is this simulated or from satellites?

Simulated, apparently. The graph at the bottom references "MOST"; see the links in the comment by blogimus for more info.
