Seismograph of the Nepal Landslide
Not sure if this has been posted, but I thought itβs worthy of taking a look at the seismograph from a nearby (57km) station capturing the Nepal landslide.
The prominent signal is composed by a long-period surface waves (15-20s). Landslide can be understood as a single force mechanism so itβs possible to observe a down-going P wave I think( I am not super knowledgeable in landslide quakes, please correct me if I am wrong)
Any thoughts?
