An equation system that describes the potential and vortex residual hydrodynamical fields that emerge in the rotating ocean during tsunami generation by co-seismic deformations of the bottom was obtained in terms of linear long-wave theory. For the model case of a cylindrically symmetrical deformation of the bottom, a completely analytical solution was found. On the basis of this solution, the structure of residual fields was analyzed and estimates of the residual horizontal displacements of water particles, of the speed of the vortex current, and of the energy of a geostrophic vortex were obtained under typical tsunami source conditions.
