Abstract

We installed a portable broadband seismometer (Streckeisen STS-2) at the Sakurajima volcano, which has been very active in the recent years. The recorded seismograms show a wide variety (both in temporal and spectral contents) of seismic events, from explosions to tremors, and exhibit the importance of such broadband seismometry at volcanos. We present examples of seismograms to show the potential of broadband seismic observation in monitoring volcanic activities.
