The authors characterize the site response at a high frequency seismic array and 2 boreholes by examining the frequency-dependent polarization, between 1 and 45 Hz, of the initial longitudinal arrival (P-wave) from local earthquakes. They use a multi-taper spectral analysis to determine the polariza...
