Tremor and its duration‐amplitude distribution at Popocatépetl volcano, Mexico by R. Arámbula‐Mendoza, C. Valdés‐González, N. Varley, T. A. Reyes‐Pimentel, B. Juárez‐García

“…Abstract The duration‐amplitude distribution was calculated for the tremor observed at Popocatépetl volcano during episodes of activity in 2000 and 2012–2014. An exponential function was used to obtain a good fit for the duration‐amplitude distribution, and the source of volcanic tremor is probably generated by the transportation of magmatic fluids and its coupling with the host rock within the volcanic conduit. …”
