Free oscillation observations through 1968

JOHN S. DERR*

Abstract

All observations of the free oscillations of the Earth published through 1968 are weighted to produce a set of means and standard errors of the means. Fundamental orders 0 to 97 for spheroidal and 2 to 99 for torsional are treated, as well as many overtones up to order 49. Statistical tests indicate that some observations are path dependent at the 99 per cent confidence level. Comparison of these means and standard errors with published Earth models indicate that they form a consistent basis for inversion of free oscillation observations to infer Earth structures.
