The findings spurred them to look for a microseism signal that would reveal whether extreme storms were becoming more common in a warming world.

The researchers are also working on recovering and digitizing older microseism records, potentially creating a data set that stretches back to the 1930s.

Instead, they're trying to test this idea, and they think that analyzing microseism data is a new and perhaps better way to get a handle on what's happening with the world's storms.

- Tremor: a small earthquake
- A microseism is defined as a faint earth tremor caused by natural phenomena, such as winds and ocean waves. Thus a microseism is a small and long-continuing oscillation of the ground. ...
- A more or less continuous motion in the earth that is unrelated to an earthquake and that has a period of 1.0 to 9.0 seconds. It is caused by a variety of natural and artificial agents.
- A weak vibration of the ground that can be detected by seismographs and which is caused by waves, wind, or human activity, but not by an earthquake.
- A feeble oscillatory disturbance of the earth's crust, detectable only by very sensitive seismographs. Certain types of microseisms seem to be closely correlated with pressure disturbances. See microbarm.
