Subject: Surface waves from Sumatra M 9.0, 2nd Version

If you haven't taken a look at the IRIS "Image of the Week" yet,
check out this page (with the now correct URL!):
http://www.iris.edu/about/ENO/iow.htm

The image shows seismic records from stations distributed around
the globe and surface waves that traveled twice around!

Questions to think about --  Why does the y-axis stop at 180 degrees?
Why would the amplitude of the surface waves fall off around 90 degrees
and then increase at 180 degrees again?

Cheers,
John
