This is a most odd and unusual seismic signal.
Recorded at Kilima Mbogo, Kenya ...

The signal can be seen all around the world at this URI, but only for the day.

Narrowing the location down the origin area appears to be in the region of the Comoros/Mayotte. A news article today suggests that the Mayotte swarm which began earlier this year may indeed be magmatic-related. Was this event a submarine volcanic eruption? lejournaldemayotte.yt/seismes-carte-

SBV, like the other stations, shows long monochromatic signal with ~17s period (mono-freq Rayleigh waves?). But filtered above 1Hz SBV (lower plot) also shows seismic(?) signals from repeating sources, with some ~50s apart. Maybe some large, shallow, oscillating volcanic source?

What is interesting is that a similar signal to today's cannot be seen for the Havre event in 2012 at Raoul Island or East Cape in New Zealand, as would be expected. I have no idea if a similar global signal of this nature has ever been observed.

Huh. Mayotte's strange double-shield volcano's last known eruption (per the Smithsonian) was 2,050 BCE!

Assuming epicenters just east of Mayotte, high-frequency (lower trace) arrivals at SBV correspond well to P & S from at least 3 sources resembling tectonic earthquakes, & the long period wave train (upper trace) correspond to the set of Rayleigh surface waves from these sources.

#geothermal community working #Comoros we have an extended seismic signal originating from Mayotte area. Has anyone got eyes-on for a possible eruption @WING_geothermal @wing_africa @GDCKenya @GAK_Kenya @KenGenKenya @IRENA @lovegeothermal @thinkgeoenergy
