摘要
The continuous recordings of broadband seismometers on Saba and St. Eustatius in the Lesser Antilles provide a unique and long data set to measure temporal seismic velocity variations (dv/v) at two active but quiescent volcanoes (Mt. Scenery and The Quill). We compare results from single-station cross-component (SC) correlations with cross-station cross-component (CC) correlations and achieve the best similarities within the frequency band 1.3-2.1 Hz, with average correlations of 0.82 for Saba and 0.36 for St. Eustatius, justifying the use of SC as proxy for CC at these frequencies. Temporal dv/v variations derived from 13 yr of data show different characteristics at both islands. At St. Eustatius dv/v highly correlates (0.72) with air temperature and can be modeled by a simple sine wave with a period of 1 yr. Remaining residuals reveal cohurricane dv/v drops, thus at times of the passage of a hurricane. At Saba, subsurface velocity variations show temporal coseismic changes, up to -0.49% compared with -0.19% at St. Eustatius, and thus show a higher sensitivity to ground shaking. Our data set, although limited, shows a linear relation (correlation 0.78) between the coseismic dv/v drop and peak ground velocity at Saba around 1.3 Hz. We model the associated seismic velocity recovery with an exponential decay function and we estimate the recovery time at 2 yr. After subtracting the coseismic drop and recovery model, dv/v at Saba obtained from CC data correlates with the sine model (correlation 0.71). SC may be an appealing alternative for CC for monitoring purposes; however, the use of a small network is preferred to reduce the variance in dv/v (at St. Eustatius from 0.12% to 0.05%) and to detect dv/v variations unrelated to volcanic activity (e.g., hurricane). We continue work on the implementation of CC in the daily monitoring for Mt. Scenery and The Quill.
