A Note on the Relation between Wind Velocity and the Amplitude of Microseisms on the coast of Antarctica

Considerable microseismic activity was observed at the Royal Society Base, Halley Bay during the summer season from December to February, particularly during on-shore winds. Examples of microseismic and wind observations from 1957 December 30 to 1958 March 6 are presented, to illustrate the nature o...

Description
Summary:Considerable microseismic activity was observed at the Royal Society Base, Halley Bay during the summer season from December to February, particularly during on-shore winds. Examples of microseismic and wind observations from 1957 December 30 to 1958 March 6 are presented, to illustrate the nature of the relation between the two observations, and to show the rapid reduction in microseismic activity near the end of February.
