Abstract

The origin of microseisms has been ascribed by the author to the action of oriented winds on rough sea surfaces [Nanda, 1960]. Earlier, Longuet-Higgins [1950] had explained that the interference of opposite components in the twodimensional wave spectra of the sea surface might give the pressure on the sea bottom responsible for the generation of microseisms. For the following reasons the author was discouraged from putting too much reliance on the Longuet-Higgins theory for the incoherent sea.
