A network of moored hydrophones is an effective way of monitoring seismicity of oceanic ridges since it allows detection and localization of underwater events by recording generated T waves. The high cost of ship time necessitates long periods (normally a year) of autonomous functioning of the hydrophones, which results in very large data sets....

Il y a une dizaine d'années, l'un de nous (Gusst Nolet) travaillant avec Frederik Simons à l'Université de Princeton, avait observé une onde sismique P d'un séisme lointain de magnitude 6. Bien qu'il n'est pas rare de voir un séisme de cette ampleur, dont environ 200 se produisent chaque année, leur méthode d'observation était unique : aidé par...

We propose a new method to study the response of a hydrophone at very low frequencies. In our method, the hydrophone is placed in a calibration chamber filled with water and, by instantaneously changing the water height, an abrupt pressure increase of about 1000 Pa is produced. The pressure variation mathematically corresponds to an input...

Our understanding of the internal dynamics of the Earth is largely based on images of seismic velocity variations in the mantle obtained with global tomography. However, our ability to image the mantle is severely hampered by a lack of seismic data collected in marine areas. Here we report observations made under different noise conditions (in...

We propose a new probabilistic scheme for the automatic recognition of underwater acoustic signals generated by teleseismic P-waves recorded by hydrophones in the ocean. The recognition of a given signal is based on the relative distribution of its power among different frequency bands. The signal's power distribution is compared with a...
