Spectral analysis of geomagneticPc3 pulsations recorded at the observatories of Budkov and Belsk

Summary The numerical method of Fourier's spectral analysis is used to treat 29 pairs of samples of pc3 pulsations recorded at the observatories of Budkov (Czechoslovakia) and Belsk (Poland). The amplitude, frequency and phase characteristics of their spectra are compared. The polarization characteristics of the spectral frequency components of pulsations recorded at both observatories are compared in a quasi-stationary approximation of a plane oscillation.     

Magnitude determination based on short-period core waves

Summary PKP-amplitudes of about 400 earthquakes from the SW Pacific Ocean observed at three stations in Central Europe were used to obtain the calibration function q_PKP(D, h) based on the NEIS m_b magnitudes. The calibration function allows us to determine the magnitudes for week earthquakes from the Pacific, for which the magnitudes from the P-waves cannot be derived.     

Two-component spectral analysis of geomagneticpi2 pulsations

Summary The method of two-component spectral analysis is described in two versions: as the so-called static analysis, in which the pulsation sample being studied is treated as a whole, and as the dynamic analysis, in which the given sample is processed piecewise in order to determine the time variations of various parameters. Both versions were applied to geomagnetic pi2 pulsations. The pi2 oscillations are resolved into several frequency components. The properties of these components are studied in dependence on the frequency and local time. The time variation of the amplitude (attenuation) and the polarization characteristics (precession) of pi2's are also studied.

The rotation of the earth between 1955.5 and 1976.5

Summary The difference between the rotational time UT1 and atomic time scale AT was analysed in order to find the secular and periodic variations in the rotational velocity of the Earth. It was found that the length of the mean solar day was increasing by 12.8 ms per century in the interval discussed. As a whole, eleven periodic terms were found, the most significant having the periods of 0.5, 1.0, 6.7 and 11.9 y. The correlation between the long period changes in the Earth's rotation and relative sunspot numbers is shown.     

Computation of ray amplitudes of seismic body waves in vertically inhomogeneous media

Summary Standard methods of interpolating the velocity-depth distribution v=v(z) do not guarantee the continuity of the first and second derivatives of velocity and generate false interfaces of a higher order. These false interfaces cause anomalies in the amplitude-distance curves. It is suggested to apply the smoothed spline approximation to the depth-velocity distribution z=z(v). In this case, the ray integrals can be evaluated in a closed form. The amplitude-distance curves become quite smooth and stable. All necessary formulae and numerical examples are presented.
