Array techniques are particularly well-suited for detecting and quantifying the complex seismic wavefields associated with volcanic activity such as volcanic tremor and long-period events. The methods based on the analysis of the signal in the frequency domain, or spectral methods, have the main advantages of both resolving closely spaced sources and reducing the necessary computer time, but may severely fail in the analysis of monochromatic, non-stationary signals. Conversely, the time-domain methods, based on the maximization of a multichannel coherence estimate, can be applied even for short-duration pulses. However, for both the time and the frequency domain approaches, an exhaustive definition of the errors associated with the slowness vector estimate is not yet available. Such a definition become crucial once the slowness vector estimates are used to infer source location and extent. In this work we develop a method based on a probabilistic formalism, which allows for a complete definition of the uncertainties associated with the estimate of frequency-slowness power spectra from measurement of the zero-lag cross-correlation. The method is based on the estimate of the theoretical frequency-slowness power spectrum, which is expressed as the convolution of the true signal slowness with the array response pattern. Using a Bayesian formalism, the a posteriori probability density function for signal slowness is expressed as the difference, in the least-squares sense, between the model spectrum and that derived from application of the zero-lag cross-correlation technique. The method is tested using synthetic waveforms resembling the quasi-monochromatic signals often associated with the volcanic activity. Examples of application to data from Stromboli volcano, Italy, allow for the estimate of source location and extent of the explosive activity.
