Effect of station conditions on amplitudes and periods of seismic waves

Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Station corrections for Průhonice, relating to Praha, were determined for body and surface waves using observations of Kirnos seismographs. The time stability of the station corrections was investigated and the possible causes of observed instabilities were discussed. A systematic difference in periods recorded at the stations was found.
