We analyze a group of 6073 low-frequency earthquakes recorded during a week-long temporary deployment of broadband seismometers at distances of less than 3km from the crater at Mount St. Helens in September of 2006. We estimate the seismic moment (M-0) and spectral corner frequency (f(0)) using a spectral ratio approach for events with a high signal-to-noise (SNR) ratio that have a cross-correlation coefficient of 0.8 or greater with at least five other events. A cluster analysis of cross-correlation values indicates that the group of 421 events meeting the SNR and cross-correlation criteria forms eight event families that exhibit largely self-similar scaling. We estimate the M-0 and f(0) values of the 421 events and calculate their static stress drop and scaled energy (E-R/M-0) values. The estimated values suggest self-similar scaling within families, as well as between five of eight families (i.e., constant). We speculate that differences in scaled energy values for the two families with variable scaling may result from a lack of resolution in the velocity model. The observation of self-similar scaling is the first of its kind for such a large group of low-frequency volcanic tectonic events occurring during a single active dome extrusion eruption.
