Abstract
Th e Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) operates a network of seismic stations in Denmark primarily to detect earthquakes. But from time to time other sources than earthquakes generate seismic signals that are detected at the stations. Here we show that both meteoroids and thunder have generated seismic signals with high signal-to-noise ratios at some of GEUS’ seismic stations (Fig. 1). Th e purpose of the seismic stations is to provide data for the earthquake database of the Kingdom of Denmark, hosted and maintained by GEUS. In order to avoid that the earthquake database is contaminated by other events not related to tectonism, these events are given special markers when possible.
期刊介绍:
GEUS Bulletin publishes geoscience research papers, monographs and map descriptions with a focus on Denmark, Greenland and the wider North Atlantic and Arctic region. We welcome submissions that fit this remit. Specifically, we publish:
1.Short articles intended as rapid communications that are of immediate interest to the international geoscience community (these include new research, datasets, methods or reviews)
2.Regular-length articles that document new research or a review of a topic of interest
3.Monographs (single volume works, by arrangement with the editorial office)
4.Maps and descriptive texts (produced by GEUS for Greenland and Denmark, by arrangement with the editorial office)
GEUS Bulletin serves a broad geoscientific readership from research, industry, government agencies, NGOs and special interest groups.
