Barometric data obtained at Mizusawa observatory, which is close to the epicenter of the 2008 Iwate-Miyagi Nairiku earthquake. Immediately after the origin time, a spike is seen, which may be an effect of seismic displacement. The amplitude of the barometric oscillation for 00:30–02:30 UT is larger than that before the origin time, and a resonance peak appears in the PSD during the interval.
