Tóm tắt

The present paper proposes a technique for low-frequency and trend compensation of broadband seismograms, which involves frequency-band broadening using digital filtering and background-trend compensation based on a Heaviside-type tilt signal estimated using a stochastic trend model. Applying this method to the east-west component of broadband seismograms, recorded using VSE355G3 broadband seismometers at the KSN site of F-net for the 2011 off the Pacific coast of Tohoku Earthquake (Mw 9.0), allowed a sharpened velocity waveform to be obtained and the static displacement associated with the earthquake to be determined.
