Abstract

We propose a method to analyze seismic noise data to bound the influence of gravitational gradients affecting the sensitivity of gravitational wave detectors. We present results obtained with data taken at the LIGO Hanford Observatory. The data shows that the method is useful, and also suggests local sources of gravitational gradients.
