The seismic noise of the earth's surface

JAMES N. BRUNE and JACK OLIVER

LAMONT GEOLOGICAL OBSERVATORY, COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY,, PALISADES, NEW YORK.

Abstract

Maximum, average, and minimum values of surface particle displacement, velocity, and acceleration of earth noise as a function of period are illustrated in graphical form. For periods less than about 5 seconds the amplitude curves rise rapidly with increasing period. The most prominent feature of the illustration is the sharp peak in the 5- to 8-second period range. There are virtually no data on noise in the range of periods between 20 seconds and the earth tide periods. With the exception of the 10- to 40-second period range, the data used are taken from the existing literature.
