Shear Attenuation and Anelastic Mechanisms in the Central Pacific Upper Mantle

We determine the mantle attenuation (1/Qμ) structure beneath 70 Myr seafloor in the central Pacific. We use long-period (33-100 sec) Rayleigh waves recorded by the NoMelt array of broadband ocean-bottom seismometers. After the removal of tilt and …

OBSrange: A New Tool for the Precise Remote Location of Ocean-Bottom Seismometers

Reliable instrument recoverability and data quality rely on accurate estimates of instrument locations on the seafloor. However, freely available software for this estimation does not currently exist. We present OBSrange, an open-source tool for …
