“…We assume that the noise is concentrated mainly in variations at the first highest frequency level of detail. Seismic noise entropy (1) was used in (Lyubushin, 2014;Lyubushin, 2015;Lyubushin, 2017;Lyubushin, 2018;Lyubushin, 2020a;Lyubushin, 2020b;Lyubushin, 2020c;Lyubushin, 2021a;Lyubushin, 2021b;Lyubushin, 2021c) to analyze seismic noise for different regions of the Earth and at the global level as a standalone tool. By its design, entropy (1) is also multiscale, like the entropy proposed in (Costa et al, 2003;Costa et al, 2005) for studying the properties of random signals.…”

The global seismic noise, recorded on a network of 229 broadband seismic stations located around the globe for 25 years, from the beginning of 1997 to the end of 2021, has been investigated. To study the noise properties a set of statistics estimated daily have been used: the multifractal singularity spectrum support width, the minimum entropy of the squared wavelet coefficients, and the wavelet-based Donoho-Johnstone (DJ) index. It is shown that the time points of local extrema of the average values of the analyzed noise properties (minima for singularity spectrum support width and DJ-index and maxima for entropy) tend to occur before strong earthquakes. The time interval from the middle of 2002 to the middle of 2003 is determined, when the trend of decreasing the average coherence of the noise properties in the auxiliary network of 50 reference points changed to an increase. Along with an increase in the average coherence, there is an increase in the radius of the spatial maximum coherences of noise properties. Both of these trends continue until the end of 2021, which is interpreted as a general sign of an increase in the degree of criticality of the state of the planet and, as a result, an increase in global seismic danger. After two mega-earthquakes close in time: 27 February 2010, M=8.8 in Chile and 11 March 2011, M=9.1 in Japan, there was an increase in the spatial scales of the strong coherence of noise parameters, which is a sign of an increase in the critical state. The response of seismic noise properties to variations in the length of the day (LOD) has been studied. An estimate of the correlation function between the mean values of the response to LOD and the logarithm of the released seismic energy in a time window of 1 year indicates a delay in energy release with respect to the maxima of the response of noise properties to LOD with a delay time of about 500 days. In connection with this result, an additional intrigue is the extreme increase in the average value of the response to LOD in 2021.

“…The preparation processes for strong earthquakes are accompanied by changes in the statistical properties of seismic noise (Lyubushin, 2012(Lyubushin, , 2013(Lyubushin, , 2015(Lyubushin, , 2017(Lyubushin, , 2018(Lyubushin, , 2020c. As shown in (Berger et al, 2004, Fukao et al, 2010, Koper and de Foy, 2008, Koper et al, 2010Ardhuin et al, 2011;Aster et al, 2008;Friedrich et al 1998;Grevemeyer et al, 2000;Kobayashi, Nishida, 1998;Nishida et al, 2008, Nishida et al, 2009, Stehly et al, 2006Rhie, Romanowicz 2004Tanimoto, 2001Tanimoto, , 2005, the main source of energy of seismic noise is ocean waves affecting the shelf and coast, as well as variations in atmospheric pressure on the Earth's surface arising from the movement of cyclones.…”

Data of continuous records of low-frequency (periods from 2 to 1,000 min) seismic noise on a global network of 229 broadband stations located around the world for 23 years, 1997–2019, are analyzed. The daily values of the entropy of the distribution of the squares of the orthogonal wavelet coefficients are considered as an informative characteristic of noise. An auxiliary network of 50 reference points is introduced, the positions of which are determined from the clustering of station positions. For each reference point, a time series is calculated, consisting of 8,400 samples with a time step of 1 day, the values of which are determined as the medians of the entropy values at the five nearest stations that are operable during the given day. The introduction of a system of reference points makes it possible to estimate temporal and spatial changes in the correlation of noise entropy values around the world. Estimation in an annual sliding time window revealed a time interval from mid-2002 to mid-2003, when there was an abrupt change in the properties of global noise and an intensive increase in both average entropy correlations and spatial correlation scales began. This trend continues until the end of 2019, and it is interpreted as a feature of seismic noise which is connected with an increase in the intensity of the strongest earthquakes, which began with the Sumatran mega-earthquake of December 26, 2004 (M = 9.3). The values of the correlation function between the logarithm of the released seismic energy and the bursts of coherence between length of day and the entropy of seismic noise in the annual time window indicate the delay in the release of seismic energy relative to the coherence maxima. This lag is interpreted as a manifestation of the triggering effect of the irregular rotation of the Earth on the increase in global seismic hazard.
