31 Conclusions Green s function (GF) can be retrieved from correlations within a diffuse field. Directional Energy Densities from autocorrelations are related with GF. E x, ω ~ < u (x, ω) > ~ImG x, x, ω. Assuming noise is diffusive: H V x, ω = E x, ω + E x, ω E x, ω = ImG x, x, ω + ImG x, x, ω ImG x, x, ω This expression relates Field Measurements and System s Properties, and allows extraction of soil information hidden in ambient seismic noise. Even if noise is not fully diffusive, residual coherency may allow to retrieve Green s functions. Appropriate data processing H/V may allow the inversion of soil profile and then its effects in strong ground motion can be explored. 6
