SUMMARY A 2-D orthogonal distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) array designed for seismic experiments was buried horizontally beneath the Kafadar Commons Geophysical Laboratory on the Colorado School of Mines campus at Golden, Colorado. The DAS system using straight fibre-optic cables is a cost-efficient technology that enables dense seismic array deployment for long-term seismic monitoring, favouring both earthquake-based and ambient-noise-based surface wave analysis for subsurface characterization. In our study, the horizontally orthogonal DAS array records ambient noise data for a period of about two months from November 2018 to January 2019. During this time, the array also detected seismic signals from an ML3.6 earthquake at Glenwood Springs, Colorado, which exhibit opposite signal polarities in the orthogonal DAS section recordings. We derive the transformation matrix for DAS strain measurements in horizontally orthogonal cables to retrieve both Rayleigh and Love wave dispersion information from the single-component DAS signals using the 2-D multichannel analysis of surface waves method. In addition, ambient noise interferometry is applied to long-term DAS noise recordings. Our theoretical derivation demonstrates that Rayleigh and Love wave Green's functions are coupled in the noise cross-correlation functions (NCFs) of DAS receiver pairs. Stacking NCFs over the horizontally orthogonal DAS array can constructively recover the radial Rayleigh wave component but destructively suppress the Love wave component. The multimodal Monte Carlo inversion of the earthquake-based Rayleigh wave and Love wave dispersion measurements and the noise-based Rayleigh wave measurement reveals a 1-D layered structure that agrees qualitatively with geological surveys of the site. Our study demonstrates that although straight fibre-optic cables lack broadside sensitivity, using appropriate DAS array configuration and seismic array methods can extend the seismic acquisition ability of DAS and enable its application to a broad range of scenarios.
