Abstract: This study focuses on improving the seafloor compliance noise removal method, which relies on estimates of the compliance transfer function frequency response (the deformation of the seafloor under long-period pressure waves ).We first propose a new multi-scale deviation analysis of broadband ocean bottom seismometer data to evaluate stationarity properties that are key to the subsequent analysis. We then propose a new approach to removing the compliance noise from the vertical channel data, by stacking daily estimated transfer function frequency responses over a period of time. We also propose an automated transient event detection and data selection method based on a cross-correlation criterion. As an example, we apply the method to data from the Cascadia Initiative (network 7D2011). We find that the spectral extent of long-period forcing waves varies significantly over time so that standard daily transfer function calculation techniques poorly estimate the transfer function frequency response at the lowest frequencies, resulting in poor denoising performance. The proposed method more accurately removes noise at these lower frequencies, especially where coherence is low, reducing the mean deviation of the signal in our test case by 27 % or more. We also show that our calculated transfer functions can be transfered across time periods. The method should allow better estimates of seafloor compliance and help to remove compliance noise at stations with low pressure-acceleration coherence. Our results can be reproduced using the BRUIT-FM Python toolbox, available at https://gitlab.ifremer.fr/anr-bruitfm/bruit-fm-toolbox.
