Very Long Period Experiment
The report presents the results of a study of the noise characteristics of Very Long Period Experiment (VLPE) stations. One-hour vertical component and one-hour three-component noise samples were processed and analyzed for short- and long-term vertical component noise trends, three-component spectra, and two-component coherence spectra.
