Analysis of Seismic Events as Recorded on Both Wide Band Long Period and Standard VELA Long Period Seismograph Systems

Abstract

Analysis of seismic signals recorded on both the standard long period and the wide band long period seismograph systems at TFO revealed that these systems yield equivalent information concerning long period energy in the signals. The Rayleigh wave energy at periods greater than sixty seconds was determined to originate almost entirely from events with epicenters near oceanic trenches or orceanic ridges.
