Tiago- I call it a seismometer Burp (hiccup is good too)- happens with the
1 Hz phones, although I think all seismometers do it, but not as much.  I
use 1 Hz phones in the desert for field work & in the summer they did this
a lot, until I painted them with a white epoxy paint.
You need another sensor recording nearby to see if the ground actually
moved............    Jim

Anyone have any idea what= can be the cause of these recordings? Maybe the geophone had a "hiccup"?
