Ambient seismic wave field

K Nishida - Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B, 2017 - jstage.jst.go.jp
The ambient seismic wave field, also known as ambient noise, is excited by oceanic gravity
waves primarily. This can be categorized as seismic hum (1–20 mHz), primary microseisms …

On the origin of the signals observed across the seismic spectrum

J Díaz - Earth-Science Reviews, 2016 - Elsevier

Modelling the ocean site effect on seismic noise body waves

L Gualtieri, É Stutzmann, V Farra… - Geophysical Journal …, 2014 - academic.oup.com
Secondary microseismic noise is generated by non-linear interactions between ocean
waves at the ocean surface. We present here the theory for computing the site effect of the …

Are deep‐ocean‐generated surface‐wave microseisms observed on land?

PD Bromirski, RA Stephen… - Journal of Geophysical …, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
Recent studies attribute land double‐frequency (DF) microseism observations to deep water
