Low-Frequency Ambient Noise Autocorrelations: Waveforms and Normal Modes

Seismic interferometry by ambient noise autocorrelations is a special case of Green's function retrieval for single-station analysis. Although high-frequency noise autocorrelations are now used to extract the reflectivity beneath seismic stations, low-frequency autocorrelations are hardly appli...

description Seismic interferometry by ambient noise autocorrelations is a special case of Green's function retrieval for single-station analysis. Although high-frequency noise autocorrelations are now used to extract the reflectivity beneath seismic stations, low-frequency autocorrelations are hardly applied. Here, we present the observation of the Earth orbiting surface waves from low-frequency noise autocorrelations which are used to extract normal-mode frequencies for the Hum. The performances of the classical and phase autocorrelations are analyzed using seismic data from GEOSCOPE station TAM in Algeria. Both approaches are independent and perform differently for data with large amplitude variability. We show that the phase autocorrelation can robustly extract Rayleigh waves and normal modes because it is not biased by large amplitude signals (e.g., earthquakes). This is convenient because no data preprocessing (data selection or amplitude clipping) is required as usually employed for the classical approaches. This implies that the phase correlation takes advantage of the full data set and waveform information to achieve a high signal extraction convergence. Single-station phase autocorrelations may become an important tool in planetary seismology where data are limited due to the expensive and difficult data acquisition and can consist of high-amplitude variability due to unknown conditions.
