Abstract: Ambient noise tomography is a rapidly emerging field of seismological research. This paper presents the current status of ambient noise data processing as it has developed over the past several years, and it was intended to explain and justify this development through salient examples. The ambient noise data processing procedure is divided into four principal phases:①single station data preparation; ②cross-correlation and temporal stacking;③measurements of dispersion curves ( performed with frequency-time analysis for both group and phase speeds);④quality control, including SNR analysis and selection of the acceptable measurements. In addition,we gave a specific solution for how to use these seismic station data better in ambient noise study.

Key words: Seismic ambient noise, Cross correlation, Rayleigh surface wave, Dispersion curves
