| Session Description | Sea bottom pressure data contains various components such as crustal deformation, ocean oscillations, tidal variability, atmospheric changes, and instrumental drift. The same is true for acoustic ranging data collected during sea-floor geodetic measurements. To date, seismologists and geodesists have generally treated the physical oceanographic processes as noise, and ocean physicists have considered crustal deformation as noise. Studies from a wide range of different disciplines from the sea level down to seafloor are necessary for characterizing, identifying, and interpreting the sources of these superposed signals. In this session, we welcome contributions focusing on our understanding of the nature of the signals and noise observed in sea-floor seismology, geodesy, ocean physics, meteorology, tsunami technology, and the complementary relationships between them. |
