Wind Systems in the Dead Sea and Footprints in Seismic Records

Atmospheric processes, from microscale turbulence to severe storms on synoptic scale, have an impact on the continuous ground motion of the earth. Seismological recordings, such as the ground motion velocity, are affected by the ambient seismicity within a broad frequency band. To understand the influence of wind on seismological records, not only the genesis, the intensity and the spatial and temporal extent of meteorological systems must be considered.
