Theoretical studies on ambient seismic noise (ASN) predict that complete
Green's function between seismic stations can be retrieved from cross
correlation. However, only fundamental mode surface waves emerge
in most studies involving real data. Here we show that Moho-reflected
body wave (SmS) and its multiples can be identified with ASN for
station pairs near their critical distances in the short period band
(1-5 s). We also show that an uneven distribution of noise sources,
such as mining activity and wind-topography interaction, can cause
surface wave precursors, which mask weaker body wave phases.
