Abstract
The vibrations of an earthquake can be properly recorded by the gravimeter. As a gravimeter, superconducting gravimeter (SG) has a very high accuracy; slightly different with general gravimeter. Rayleigh wave is the wave with the largest amplitude in earthquake, so it will be clear on SG tape. In this research, we use certain superconducting gravimeter (SG) and seismo- meter LHZ, spread over several locations around the world; just to know more about earthquakes occurring in the Vanuatu Islands (7.1 Mw) and Afghanistan (7.5 Mw) in October 2015. This research focuses on instrument responsse that records earthquake events that aims to know comparison of the characteristics of the Rayleigh wave on both instruments. Tidal value reduction were applied on SG’s recording in order to get true gravity value. Then we did time-integral to get velocity and displacement. By using spec trogram function, we can display frequency of SG and LHZ. The amplitude of the Rayleigh wave recorded on the SG is smaller than that recorded on the LHZ and has signal correlation > 7.0. In any case of Rayleigh Global waves, SG is able to record clearly the phase of Rayleigh wave to phase R6 in the earthquake of Vanuatu and R7 in the Afghanistan earthquake, while LHZ only records up to the R4 and R5 phase. The spectrograph analysis reinforces the differences in the viewing screens of SG and LHZ Rayleigh Global waves in the frequency domain, R7 recorded on SG has a frequency range of 0.002 Hz to 0.006 Hz. Based on the results of Rayleigh wave analysis on the SG record and its comparison with the LHZ record it can be concluded that SG has a high level of sensitivity and stable when recording Rayleigh waves.
