Abstract
The spatial correlation characteristics of ambient short‐period (0.5 to 5 cps) noise at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, and on the Cumberland Plateau in Tennessee were investigated on “permanent” arrays with 3–4 kilometer diameter. Dominant ambient noise at the two locations is spatially organized, and to first order may be treated as a combination of seismic propagating wave trains. At the Tennessee location noise energy above one cps is dominantly propagating with velocities from 3.5 to 4.5 km/sec, and must be carried in deeply trapped, high‐order modes. Generalized multichannel filtering (Burg) can be used to preserve a large class of mantle P‐wave signals, wide‐band, in a single output trace, while at the same time specifically rejecting ambient noise on the basis of its organization. Results of generalized multichannel filtering applied on‐line at the nineteen‐element array in Tennessee and applied off‐line are discussed.
