The possibility of monitoring climate variability on decadal scales by means of microseisms
is investigated. For this purpose, digital microseismic data from Hamburg (Germany) of the
six winters 1992/93 to 1997/98 are compared with model ocean-wave fields of the North
Atlantic. A correlation coefficient of about r= 0.7 was found between the linear ocean-wave
amplitude at the Norwegian coast and the square-root of the microseismic amplitude.
Considering monthly means of the energy of both ocean waves and microseisms the …
