“…So, most of that planet's remaining seismic noise will be associated with the interaction of the atmosphere with the subsurface. Lognonné et al (1996) have shown that, even on Earth, prototype Martian seismometers can reach low noise levels at a quiet site, when protected by a windshield, leaving the overall ground deformation as the ultimate and unescapable noise on a planet with a windy atmosphere. This has been welldocumented on Earth, at LPs (Sorrells, 1971;Sorrells et al, 1971) and at SPs of varying durations (Criswell et al, 1975;Steeples et al, 1997;Withers et al, 1996).…”
