Icequakes around Syowa Station, Antarctica
Three types of icequakes were observed by the tripartite seismological network at Japanese Antarctic station, Syowa during the period from February 1976 to January 1977. The types are (1) shocks with a sharp initial phase (named Type I), (2) shocks with a small or unidentified amplitude of initial p...
