The Hydrometer as a Seismometer [PDF]

open access: bronzeNature, 1905
A SHORT time ago (NATURE, May 25) I directed attention to a misconception which seemed to prevail among seismologists as to the behaviour of a spirit-level. It may perhaps be useful to point out another fallacy, also of an elementary hydro-mechanical nature, involved in some of the unsuccessful attempts to record vertical motion.

Resonances of the InSight Seismometer on Mars

open access: yesBulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 2021
ABSTRACT The Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport (InSight) seismometer was deployed to the surface of Mars in December 2018–February 2019. The specific deployment conditions, which are very different from those of a standard broadband instrument on the Earth, result in resonances caused by ...

PERFORMANCE OF RESONANT SEISMOMETERS [PDF]

open access: yesGEOPHYSICS, 1954
A group of resonant vertical seismometers, each tuned to cover a part of the spectrum of microseism frequencies, has been operated for about one year. These instruments (a) clearly distinguish between simultaneous microseisms from two separate sources; (b) show an improved signal‐to‐noise ratio for microseisms from a single storm, permitting earlier ...

Seismometer Detection of Dust Devil Vortices by Ground Tilt [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We report seismic signals on a desert playa caused by convective vortices and dust devils. The long-period (10-100s) signatures, with tilts of ~10$^{-7}$ radians, are correlated with the presence of vortices, detected with nearby sensors as sharp ...

Wiener filtering with a seismic underground array at the Sanford Underground Research Facility [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A seismic array has been deployed at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in the former Homestake mine, South Dakota, to study the underground seismic environment.

Subtraction of Newtonian Noise Using Optimized Sensor Arrays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Fluctuations in the local Newtonian gravitational field present a limit to high precision measurements, including searches for gravitational waves using laser interferometers.

Machine learning for gravitational-wave detection: surrogate Wiener filtering for the prediction and optimized cancellation of Newtonian noise at Virgo

open access: yes, 2020
The cancellation of noise from terrestrial gravity fluctuations, also known as Newtonian noise (NN), in gravitational-wave detectors is a formidable challenge. Gravity fluctuations result from density perturbations associated with environmental fields, e.

Differential phase extraction in an atom gradiometer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
We present here a method for the extraction of the differential phase of an atom gradiometer that exploits the correlation of the vibration signal measured by an auxiliary classical sensor, such as a seismometer or an accelerometer.
