Seismic tomography using S wave travel times faces the difficulty imposed by the interference between S and SKS phases near 83° epicentral distance, as the SKS phase overtakes the S waves in the mantle. If the...
A technique for detecting intermediate-period (6–12 s) Sd P phases converted from S to P at a depth d in the source region is described. Previously, these phases were detected in short-period array recordings of ...
Along the Kamchatka-Kuril-Japan-Izu-Bonin-Mariana subduction zones, the old age of the subducting Pacific Plate and the rapid subduction rate together suggest that earthquakes should occur to the bottom of the...

In order to better understand earthquake generation, tectonics at plate boundaries, and better image the Earth’s deep structures, real-time geophysical measurements in the ocean are required. We therefore atte...
We have developed systems for measuring differential displacements across a fault zone, and examined their resolutions through seafloor experiments at relatively short baselines. A system for a seafloor extens...
A new type of SeaFloor ElectroMagnetic Station (SFEMS) has been newly developed by adding a magnetotelluric (MT) variograph to its prototype built previously (Toh and Hamano, 1997). New SFEMS is able to conduc...
Imanishi (this issue) commented that (1) the noise level at Matsushiro, Japan (MA) is much lower than at Syowa Station, Antarctica (SY), (2) oscillation signals are not observed at MA, and therefore (3) peaks ...
The report of Nawa et al. (1998) that incessant excitation of the Earth’s free oscillations was discovered in the low frequency spectra of the superconducting gravimeter at the Syowa station in Antarctica is reex...
Recent three-dimensional simulations of the Martian plasma and magnetic field environment found some unique effects—a strong asymmetry of the bow shock and the magnetic field draping, asymmetry of plasma inflo...
Large number of high dispersion whistlers recorded at low latitude station Varanasi (L = 1.07) are analysed and it is find out that they have propagated along L≃ 2.12–2.76. This is explained by considering the pr...
