	abstract = {The Tamu Massif, considered the biggest single volcano on Earth, was formed by the accumulation of enormous amounts of magma erupting to the surface. It is the largest and oldest seamount in Shatsky Rise, which is the third largest oceanic plateau on Earth. However, the formation mechanism of Tamu Massif is still controversial because evidence point to different formation hypotheses. In this paper, we applied the P-wave coda autocorrelation method and used the hydrophone waveform data acquired by the ocean bottom seismometer (OBS) deployed on Tamu Massif to constrain the oceanic crust, and these results provide new finding on the structure of the oceanic crust for Tamu Massif. We hope it can provide some implications to research the formation mechanism of Tamu Massif. These results show that some stations in Tamu Massif received reflection signals from shallower depths that are nearly parallel to the seafloor. We infer that in the shallow oceanic crust, there is a layer composed of alternating eruptions of dense, higher velocity massive lava and sparse, lower velocity pillow lava flows, which have less density and lower velocity compared to the lower oceanic crust, with a strong acoustic impedance contrasts between them and thus able to generate a reflection signal, which is observed in our autocorrelation results.},

	abstract = {Horizontal records of ocean-bottom seismographs are usually noisy at low frequencies (\&lt; 0.1~Hz). The noise source is believed to be associated with ocean-bottom currents that may tilt the instrument. Currently horizontal records are mainly used to remove the coherent noise in vertical records, and there has been little literature that quantitatively discusses the mechanism and characteristics of low-frequency horizontal noise. In this article, we analyze in situ ocean-bottom measurements by rotating the data horizontally and evaluating the coherency between different channels. Results suggest that the horizontal noise consists of two components, random noise and principle noise whose direction barely changes in time. The amplitude and the direction of the latter are possibly related to the intensity and direction of ocean-bottom currents. Rotating the horizontal records to the direction of the principle noise can largely suppress the principle noise in the orthogonal horizontal channel. In addition, the horizontal noise is incoherent with pressure, indicating that the noise source is not ocean surface water waves (infragravity waves). At some stations in shallow waters (\&lt;300~m), horizontal noise around 0.07~Hz is found to be linearly proportional to the temporal derivative of pressure, which is explained by forces of added mass due to infragravity waves.},
