Abstract Based on studies of continuous waveform data recorded on broad-band seismograph stations in Africa, Europe and North America, we report evidences for two temporally persistent and spatially localized monochromatic vibrating sources (around 0.036 and 0.038 Hz, respectively) in the Gulf of Guinea, instead of just one source (0.038 Hz or 26 s) found 50 yr ago. The location of the 0.036 Hz source is close to the Sao Tome Volcano, therefore it may be related to volcano processes. However, the 0.038 Hz source cannot be explained with known mechanisms, such as tectonic or oceanic processes. The most likely mechanism is volcano processes, but there is no reported active volcano in source region. Such repetitive vibration sources may provide valuable tools for detecting temporal variation of crustal structure of the Earth.

abstract The appearance of the pP phase, on seismograms, is strongly affected by the crustal structure in the vicinity of the epicenter. A recognizable pP phase is generated near the west coast of North America when the uppermost layer is water of sufficient depth. The generation of this pP is also affected by ocean bottom conditions. The bottom must probably be flat and the coefficient of reflection between the water and the bottom must be high. This pP phase may be useful in epicenter location and in crustal studies.
