Rose Parade Seismology: Signatures of Floats and Bands on Optical Fiber

Abstract

The 2020 Rose Parade in Pasadena, California, was recorded by the Pasadena distributed acoustic sensing array, which utilizes the underground telecom fiber optic cables as sensors. The floats and bands generate remarkable broadband seismic signatures that can be captured at meters' resolution.
