Slichter
triplet
One of the most famous and
difficult-to-detect modes of the Earth is the elusive Slichter triplet, which I
do not believe has yet been seen in any data set at the Earth's surface. There are two schools of
thought concerning its existence. The first believes that it is both
theoretically excited and potentially visible in SG data and data from the world
wide seismic networks. The other believes either that there are as yet unexplained reasons
why it cannot be excited to its theoretical level (such as loss of energy at the
ICB), or that its excitation is below the threshold of detectability.
