A New Tool for Seismology--the Cumulative Spectral Power
Randall D. Peters
The power spectral density (PSD) function is commonly used to specify seismometer performance. It is derived from the FFT of acceleration and correction is made for the transfer fu…
Hurricanes and Earth Hum
Randall D. Peters
A modernized conventional pendulum has been used to show that hurricanes Katrina and Ophelia excited eigenmode oscillations of the Earth as well as microseisms.
Creep-Enhanced Low-Frequency Sensitivity of Seismometers
Randall D. Peters
The frequency response of a seismometer is typically assumed to be the textbook case of a viscous damped, simple harmonic oscillator. Real mechanical oscillators are not ideal, and…
Modernized conventional Pendulum Seismometer
Randall D. Peters
With the right choice of sensor, a `simple' pendulum has great potential as a seismometer with superior low frequency sensitivity.
Correlation measurements of Atmospheric Pressure variations and Seismicity during Hurricane Dennis
Randall D. Peters
During the passage of hurricane Dennis, two functionally different instruments made continuous recordings from their location in Macon, Georgia. These were (i) a non-conventional v…
Hurricane Excitation of Earth Eigenmodes
Randall D. Peters
A non-conventional vertical seismometer, with good low-frequency sensitivity, was used to study earth motions in Macon, Georgia USA during the time of hurricane Charley, August 200…
