On measuring surface-wave phase velocity from station-station

7 We apply two different algorithms to measure surface-wave phase velocity, as a function of 8 frequency, from seismic ambient noise recorded at pairs of stations from a large European 9 network. The two methods are based on consistent theoretical formulations, but differ in the 10 implementation: one method involves the time-domain cross-correlation of signal recorded 11 at different stations;...
