Low-Frequency Acoustic Pressure

Low-frequency (LF) hydrophone data, when collocated with a broadband seismometer, can be used to better distinguish between seismic signals, such as tremor and acoustic arrivals such as the tertiary phases of T waves of oceanic earthquakes, and enable optimal corrections for tilt noise on vertical seismometer channels.

Low-frequency acoustic pressure time series can be retrieved from EarthScope Data Services. Below are links to the station summaries, listed by site. 

For tools to access the data, select the "Data" tab at the top of the EarthScope Station Summary page.
