“…The advantage of using ambient seismic noise is that one does not have to wait for earthquakes to occur, which enables continuous measurements of dv/v. The dv/v is sensitive to the groundwater level (GWL) (Clements & Denolle, 2018, 2023Illien et al, 2021Illien et al, , 2022Mao et al, 2022;Nishida et al, 2020;Rivet et al, 2015;Sens-Schönfelder & Wegler, 2006) and the thermoelastic deformation induced by the air temperature (Colombero et al, 2018;Gassenmeier et al, 2016;Richter et al, 2014), or even both (Feng et al, 2021;Lecocq et al, 2017;Wang et al, 2017). When interpreting dv/v measurements, it is thus crucial to identify the environmental factors as well as other mechanisms that cause variations in dv/v, such as a drop in velocity associated with coseismic earthquake rupture, logarithmic healing following an earthquake, and the other potential tectonic factors (Clements & Denolle, 2023;Feng et al, 2021;Taira et al, 2015).…”
