Área de la Ciencia:
- Geofísica de la Tierra sólida Geofísica de la Tierra sólida
- Sismología Sismología Sismología.
- Oceanografía La oceanografía es la oceanografía.
Sus antecedentes:
- La Tierra exhibe oscilaciones continuas, conocidas como el "zumbido", detectadas en registros sísmicos (2-7 mHz).
- El nivel de excitación del zumbido es significativo, comparable a los terremotos moderados, y no puede atribuirse a pequeños eventos sísmicos.
- Las hipótesis anteriores sobre la fuente del zumbido, incluidos los terremotos lentos, se han excluido en gran medida, apuntando a procesos atmosféricos u oceánicos.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Desarrollar y aplicar un método basado en matrices para detectar y localizar las fuentes de excitación del hum de la Tierra.
- Identificar las principales regiones geográficas y las variaciones estacionales asociadas con la generación del zumbido.
Principales métodos:
- Utilizó una metodología de detección y localización sísmica basada en matrices.
- Se analizaron datos sísmicos para identificar el origen de los picos de oscilación libre en el rango de 2-7 mHz.
- Fuentes de excitación de hum correlacionadas con factores estacionales y geográficos.
Principales resultados:
- El zumbido de la Tierra se genera principalmente en el norte del Océano Pacífico durante el invierno del hemisferio norte.
- El zumbido se origina en los océanos del sur durante el invierno del hemisferio sur.
- El método basado en matrices detectó y localizó con éxito las fuentes de excitación de hum.
Conclusiones:
- El zumbido de la Tierra se genera predominantemente por la interacción de la atmósfera, el océano y el fondo marino.
- Es probable que la energía de la tormenta se convierta en ondas de infragravedad oceánica, que luego interactúan con la topografía del fondo marino para producir humedad.
- Este estudio proporciona una fuerte evidencia de un mecanismo que vincula los patrones climáticos con la humedad sísmica global.

Oscillations about an Equilibrium Position
7.3K
Stability is an important concept in oscillation. If an equilibrium point is stable, a slight disturbance of an object that is initially at the stable equilibrium point will cause the object to oscillate around that point. For an unstable equilibrium point, if the object is disturbed slightly, it will not return to the equilibrium point. There are three conditions for equilibrium points—stable, unstable, and half-stable. A half-stable equilibrium point is also unstable, but is named so...

Damped Oscillations
7.7K
In the real world, oscillations seldom follow true simple harmonic motion. A system that continues its motion indefinitely without losing its amplitude is termed undamped. However, friction of some sort usually dampens the motion, so it fades away or needs more force to continue. For example, a guitar string stops oscillating a few seconds after being plucked. Similarly, one must continually push a swing to keep a child swinging on a playground.

Types of Damping
8.1K
If the amount of damping in a system is gradually increased, the period and frequency start to become affected because damping opposes, and hence slows, the back and forth motion (the net force is smaller in both directions). If there is a very large amount of damping, the system does not even oscillate; instead, it slowly moves toward equilibrium. In brief, an overdamped system moves slowly towards equilibrium, whereas an underdamped system moves quickly to equilibrium but will oscillate about...

Forced Oscillations
8.3K
When an oscillator is forced with a periodic driving force, the motion may seem chaotic. The motions of such oscillators are known as transients. After the transients die out, the oscillator reaches a steady state, where the motion is periodic, and the displacement is determined.

Modes of Standing Waves - I
4.4K
A close look at earthquakes provides evidence for the conditions appropriate for resonance, standing waves, and constructive and destructive interference. A building may vibrate for several seconds with a driving frequency matching the building's natural frequency of vibration; this produces a resonance that results in one building collapsing while the neighboring buildings do not. Often, buildings of a certain height are devastated, while other taller buildings remain intact. This...

Modes of Standing Waves: II
1.9K
The starting point for expressing the modes of standing waves is understanding the boundary conditions that the waves must follow. The boundary conditions are derived from the physical understanding of how the standing waves are sustained, that is, how the vibrating particles of the medium behave at the boundaries imposed on them.
For a tube open at one end and closed at the other filled with air, the modes are such that there is always an antinode at the open end and a node at the closed end....
