 +===== Data Analysis Projects =====
 +
 +  - Solar wind modes (Ross, Gary)
 +    - measure lines in the spectra at low frequencies, 40-400 uHz, using multi-taper techniques
 +    - could potentially benefit from tilt-meters or magnetometers
 +    - depending on the absolute displacements, possibly could do this with GPS stations.
 +    - could also try cross-correlations between pairs of detectors
 +  - Deep EQ in Japan (Daniel, Victor)
 +    - Estimate incident and reflected waves, resolve them as they propagate through the array.
 +    - Deep source, does not suffer from surface effects. Can get a cleaner incident signal at deeper stations. 
 +  - Cross-correlations (Daniel, Victor)
 +    - cross-correlation between two stations is related to the Green's function relating the two stations, under the assumptions of isotropic source distribution and equipartition of energy.
 +    - extract the dependence of Rayleigh wave speed on frequency, which gives the dependence of shear wave speed on depth.
 +    - may be able to measure body waves directly with underground stations?
 +    - Could potentially detect the presence of Love waves. 
 +    - Attempt to compare the noise correlation functions (pseudo-Green's functions) from different periods of time to see if we can resolve temporal or seasonal differences in the structure (i.e.: a difference in fluid content or snowpack weight between summer and winter). 
 +    - test various pre-processing techniques to maximize signal recovery. This may be of relevance for radiometer signal pre-processing too.
 +    - How does this extend to isotropic GW background? Can you measure the speed of gravitational waves? (Vuk, ...)
 +  - Visualization of the motion (Gary)
 +    - identify polarization of the waves. At high frequencies expect deviations from the standard theory due to anisotropy. At low frequencies the standard theory probably fits data better.
 +    - Can you apply these visualization techniques to seismic noise in very narrow bands? Do you see the retrograde/prograde motion? Do you see Love waves?
 +  - Active source experiments (Ross, Gary)
 +    - Measure the speed at different locations on the surface and along the drifts where the measurements were done
 +    - try to extract average speeds in other directions/locations using the active sources and the Homestake array instruments. Would need the absolute timing of the shots, which does not exist but could be estimated.
 +  - Wiener filter (Michael, Jan)
 +    - how well does the subtraction work at different depth, different frequencies, different filter lengths
 +    - how do we determine the optimal array design? Test performance of the filtering after dropping some of the stations
 +    - Question: is it possible to use the spatial patterns of signal coherence (or some other misfit metric) to map regions of higher scattering or anisotropy, and/or to determine a weighting scheme for a radiometer or beamforming code?
 +  - Related to Wiener: how do we measure correlations in an inhomogeneous seismic field? That is, how do we measure/identify local sources, local scattering etc?
 +    - Use the deep EQ in Japan to estimate the incident and reflected waves, subtract them from data and the residual should carry information about the local scattering...
 +  - Event Catalog (Gary)
 +    - Continue to identify and catalog events observed by the Homestake array
 +    - correlate them with USGS database
 +  - Glitch-finding algorithms (related to the Event Catalog above)
 +    - Apply Omicron to the Homestake data (Michael)
 +      - look at events on the time-scale of 1 sec, including local (mine) events
 +    - Try to apply STAMP to an example EQ other events on the time-scale of 100sec (Tanner, Pat?)
 +      - If the results are interesting for geo, potentially consider other applications
 +  - Radiometer (Tanner, Pat, Levi, Vuk)
 +    - correct the Rayleigh model: double exponential, new speed estimates etc
 +    - for speeds: could start with the preliminary estimates from Gary: v_s = 3300-3900 m/s, v_p = 5700 m/s
 +    - for speeds: in the long terms would like to use the estimate of v_s(depth), estimated as a power law. This would then give us all exponentials for Rayleigh and Love waves. 
 +    - modify the code to use larger frequency bands, windowing, etc
 +    - develop a tool for Love waves as well (single exponential).
 +    - compare to existing directional tools
