Breathing of the seafloor: Tidal correlations of seismicity at Axial volcano
Figure 1. Locations and names of three ocean-bottom seismographs (OBS) used to locate events and NOAA-PMEL’s bottom-pressure recorder (BPR). All located earthquakes are shown as green dots. Purple star indicates location of water-column anomaly as recorded during OBS deployments. Lower right figure shows outline of 1998 flow (Embley et al., 1999) compared with location of 1994 seismicity. Lower...
متن کاملAbsence of Evidence for a Shallow Magma Chamber beneath Long Valley Caldera, California, in Downhole and Surface Seismograms
A downhole seismometer at 900-m depth and a temporary network of surface stations were deployed to use rays from local microearthquakes to study the upper and middle crust beneath the Long Valley caldera. The downhole seismograms show S waves with high apparent amplitudes from earthquakes located 2-20 km to the south of the downhole seismometer. In contrast, S waves from earthquakes located in ...
متن کاملSeismometer Array : Site Response , Low Q Values , and /
A three-level downhole array is being operated in a 1500-m-deep borehole within the seismically active Newport-lnglewood fault zone, Los Angeles basin. The array consists of three three-component 4.5 Hz seismometers deployed at the surface, and at 420 and 1500 m depth. An M = 2.8 earthquake that occurred 0.9 km away from the array at a depth of 5.3 km on 31 July 1986 generated rays traveling al...
متن کاملMicroseismicity of the ultraslow-spreading Gakkel ridge, Arctic Ocean: a pilot study
S U M M A R Y The active mid-ocean ridge of the Arctic Ocean, named Gakkel ridge, is the slowest spreading ridge of the global system of mid-oceanic ridges with full spreading rates declining from about 12.5 to 6 mm yr−1 from west to east. Geological models of seafloor spreading predict a decreasing intensity of magmatic processes with decreasing spreading rate. In summer 2001, the multidiscipl...
متن کاملMultiscaling nature of sonic velocities and lithology in the upper crystalline crust: evidence from the KTB Main Borehole
The observed scaling of sonic logs is generally described using a monofractal model (fractional Brownian motion with Hurst exponent typically between 0.1 and 0.2, or fractional Lévy motion); even though such a description recognizes the existence of the self-similarity of the logs, it offers only a limited account of the actual symmetry, as it misses the displayed heterogeneous fractality. Inte...
