Abstract: Based on VHZ data recorded by 7 stations of China digital seismograph network (CDSN) for Nov. 14, 2001, earthquake in the west of the Kunlun mountain pass, we extracted spherical mode of 0S4~0S76 of the earth free oscillation using power spectral density (PSD) estimation. Because the frequency response of seismograph in China digital seismograph network suppress information of solid tide, we do not need to remove the solid tide in our procession. Our result is nearly consistent with frequency of the modes of preliminary reference earth model (PREM). The data of the earth spherical free oscillation can be used to invert focal mechanism of this earthquake and to explore the inner structure of the earth.
