Surface waves and correlations Correlation of time series Similarity Time shifts Applications Correlation of rotations/strains and translations Ambient noise correlations Coda correlations Scope: Appreciate that the use of noise (and coda) plus correlation techniques is one of the most innovative direction in data analysis at the moment: passive imaging
Discrete Correlation Correlation plays a central role in the study of time series. In general, correlation gives a quantitative estimate of the degree of similarity between two functions. The correlation of functions g and f both with N samples is defined as:
Auto-correlation Auto-correlation
Cross-correlation Cross-correlation Lag between two functions
Noise correlation - principle From Campillo et al.
Noise on our planet Stutzmann et al. 2009

Surface waves and noise Cross-correlate noise observed over long time scales at different locations Vary frequency range, dispersion?

How to Method: • Compare waveforms of repeating earthquake sequences • Quantity: Decorrelation index D(t) = 1-Cmax(t) • Insensitive to variations in near-station environment(Snieder, Gret, Douma & Scales 2002)
Changes in scatterer properties: • Increase in Decorrelation index after 1992 Landers earthquake (Mw=7.3, 65 kPa dyn. stress) • Strong increase in Decorrelation index after 2004 Parkfield earthquake (Mw=6.0, distance ~20 km) • Increase in Decorrelation index after 2004 Sumatra Earthquake (Mw=9.1, 10kPa dyn. stress) • But: No traces of 1999 Hector Mine, 2002 Denali and 2003 San Simeon (dyn. stresses all two times above 2004 Sumatra)

Summary • The simple correlation technique has turned into one of the most important processing tools for seismograms • Passive imaging is the process with which noise recordings can be used to infer information on structure • Correlation of noisy seismograms from two stations allows in principle the reconstruction of the Green‘s function between the two stations • A whole new family of tomographic tools emerged • CC techniques are ideal to identify time-dependent changes in the structure (scattering) • The ideal tool to quantify similarity (e.g., frequency dependent) between various signals (e.g., rotations, strains with translations)
