Figure 4. Waveforms of Bárðarbunga earthquakes 1994, 1995, and 1996, recorded by the ICEMELT broadband station
KAF, in SE-Iceland (Figure 1). Two minutes long, 3-component, vertical, radial and transverse (Z, R, T) records are shown
for each event. Note that the amplitude scale is not the same for all records. Some of the surface wave phases of the 1994
and 1996 events are clipped, but the 1996 event is obviously the largest of the three. – Bylgjugögn þriggja meginskjálfta í
Bárðarbungu 1994, 1995, og 1996, frá breiðbandsmæli ICEMELT netsins á Kálfafelli (KAF), Suðausturlandi (sjá 1. mynd).
Tímagluggi er tveggja mínútna langur, og þrír þættir hraðahreyfingar jarðar eru sýndir í lóðrétt- (Z), geisla- (R) og þver-
stefnu (T). Athugið, að skali á bylgjuútslagi (y-ás) er ekki sá sami fyrir skjálftana. Sumar yfirborðsbylgjur skjálftanna frá
1994 og 1996 eru skornar (mælar hafa farið í botn), en 1996 skjálftinn er greinilega stærstur þessara skjálfta.
