Abstract

Seismometers measuring horizontal vibrations are seriously affected by ground tilt caused by atmospheric and other effects. An angular accelerometer has been developed, responding only to ground tilt, which enables the seismometer records to be improved. A description of the instrument is given, and an attempt is made to improve a wind-disturbed seismic record. An analysis of the instrumental noise level shows that it can detect a tilt of about 10-8 radians in the seismic band used, and it appears possible to improve this by an order of magnitude.
