	abstract = {Very accurate timing of seismic recordings is critical for modern processing techniques. Clock synchronization among the instruments constituting an array is, however, difficult without direct communication between them. Synchronization to Global Positioning System (GPS) time is one option for on-land deployments, but not for underwater surveys as electromagnetic signals do not propagate efficiently in water. If clock drift is linear, time corrections for ocean-bottom seismometer (OBS) deployments can be estimated through GPS synchronization before and after the deployment, but this is not sufficient for many applications as the nonlinear component of the drift can reach tens to hundreds of milliseconds for long-duration experiments. We present two techniques to retrieve timing differences between simultaneous recordings at ocean-bottom instruments after deployment has ended. Both techniques are based on the analysis of the cross correlation of ambient seismic noise and are effective even if clock drift is nonlinear. The first, called time symmetry analysis, is easy to apply but requires a proper illumination so that the noise cross-correlation functions are symmetric in time. The second is based on the doublet analysis method and does not have this restriction. Advantages and drawbacks of both approaches are discussed. Application to two OBS data sets shows that both can achieve synchronization of recordings down to about five milliseconds (a few percent of the main period used).},

	abstract = {Inter-station Green{\textquoteright}s functions estimated from ambient noise studies have been widely used to investigate crustal structure. However, most studies are restricted to continental areas and use fundamental-mode surface waves only. In this study, we recover inter-station surface (Scholte-Rayleigh) wave empirical Green{\textquoteright}s function (EGFs) of both the fundamental- and the first-higher mode using one year of continuous seismic noise records on the vertical component from 28 ocean bottom seismographs deployed in the Quebrada/Discovery/Gofar transform faults region on the East Pacific Rise. The average phase-velocity dispersion of the fundamental mode (period band 2{\textendash}30s) and the first-higher mode (period band 3{\textendash}7s) from all EGFs are used to invert for the 1-D average, shear-velocity structure in the crust and uppermost mantle using a model-space search algorithm. The preferred shear-velocity models reveal low velocities (4.29km/s) between Moho and 25km depth below sea-surface, suggesting the absence of a fast uppermost mantle lid in this young (0{\textendash}2Myr) oceanic region. An even more pronounced low-velocity zone, with shear velocities \~{}3.85km/s, appears at a depth between 25{\textendash}40km below sea-surface. Along with previous results, our study indicates that the shear velocity in the uppermost oceanic mantle increases with increasing seafloor age, consistent with age-related lithospheric cooling. R{\'e}sum{\'e} Les fonctions de Green estim{\'e}es {\`a} partir de l{\textquoteright}analyse du bruit ambiant ont beaucoup {\'e}t{\'e} utilis{\'e}es pour {\'e}tudier la structure de la cro{\^u}te terrestre. La plupart de ces travaux sont toutefois limit{\'e}s aux zones continentales, et ne consid{\`e}rent que le mode fondamental des ondes de surface. Dans cette {\'e}tude, les fonctions de Green empiriques (EGFs) du mode fondamental et du premier mode sup{\'e}rieur des ondes de surface (Scholte-Rayleigh) sont reconstruites {\`a} partir d{\textquoteright}une ann{\'e}e d{\textquoteright}enregistrements continus de la composante verticale du bruit sismique sur 28 ocean bottom seismometers (OBSs) d{\'e}ploy{\'e}s dans la r{\'e}gion des failles transformantes Quebrada/Discovery/Gofar, le long de la dorsale oc{\'e}anique du Pacifique Est. La dispersion moyenne des vitesses de phase du mode fondamental (dans la bande de p{\'e}riode 2{\textendash}30s) et du premier mode sup{\'e}rieur (dans la bande 3{\textendash}7s), issus des EGFs, est utilis{\'e}e pour d{\'e}terminer un mod{\`e}le moyen 1D de la vitesse des ondes de cisaillement dans la cro{\^u}te et le manteau sup{\'e}rieur {\`a} partir d{\textquoteright}un algorithme de recherche dans l{\textquoteright}espace mod{\`e}le. Le mod{\`e}le de vitesse des ondes de cisaillement r{\'e}sultant pr{\'e}sente une couche de faible vitesse (4,29km/s) entre le Moho et 25km sous le niveau de la mer, ce qui sugg{\`e}re l{\textquoteright}absence de couche superficielle rapide dans le manteau sup{\'e}rieur de cette jeune r{\'e}gion oc{\'e}anique (0{\textendash}2millions d{\textquoteright}ann{\'e}es). Une zone de faible vitesse encore plus prononc{\'e}e, avec une vitesse de cisaillement de \~{}3,85km/s, appara{\^\i}t entre 25 et 40km sous le niveau de la mer. Combin{\'e}e avec des r{\'e}sultats ant{\'e}rieurs, notre {\'e}tude montre que la vitesse de cisaillement dans le manteau oc{\'e}anique sup{\'e}rieur augmente avec l{\textquoteright}{\^a}ge du fond oc{\'e}anique, ce qui est en accord avec le refroidissement dans le temps de la lithosph{\`e}re.},
