Description
We analyze time series of Strombolian volcanic tremor recorded with a
network of broadband seismic stations. We evidence the occurrence of a
significant component of volcanic tremor in the range [0.2-0.5] Hz by
using linear and nonlinear methods. The polarization and ZLCC analysis
show that the wave field is characterized by high apparent velocity (~2
km/s). It comes mainly from the crater area with a clear amplitude decay
towards the sea level. The previous properties are loosed when the
tremor level is higher suggesting that in this case the wave field is
more affected by oceanic noise. The waveform extracted by Independent
Component Analysis (ICA) shows a behaviour like nonlinear ``beats'' as
in the case of high frequency waveforms. We conclude that this component
displays a behaviour like the wave field at higher frequencies in spite
of its low frequency, and it is produced by the vibrations of the
volcanic conduit.
