A previous paper described two techniques developed at the University of Auckland, School of Engineering for recording microtremors. In this paper, various possible methods of analysing such records, with emphasis on the discernment of frequency content, are outlined. Those which were found most useful in microtremor analysis are described in more detail and examples of their use are given.
