Seismic tomography is traditionally based on known sources like explosions or earthquakes, in this study<br />

we have applied a technique of cross-correlation long time series of seismic recordings from pairs of<br />

broad band seismic stations, to extract information on surface wave velocities from the ambient seismic<br />

noise. From a cross-correlation of one month of vertical component recordings we show that the<br />

Rayleigh wave group velocity can be determines between station pairs in Greenland. Our result shows<br />

that the intensity of the ambient seismic noise is highest in coastal areas and that the intensity changes<br />

with the season, which correlates with the extent of sea ice around Greenland. The Rayleigh wave<br />

group velocity is obtained at three frequency intervals 5-10, 10-20 and 30-50 s. Tomography inversion<br />

at these frequency intervals is presented. Furthermore we present different aspects in the preparation<br />

and processing of the data set.<br />
