Seismic wave extractions have been performed using ambient noise records observed by distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) technology. Extractions of microseisms can be investigated at a local scale using such DAS records observed in the ocean. Here, we show P and Scholte wave extractions from ambient seafloor noise observed by DAS along a submarine cable deployed off Cape Muroto in the Nankai subduction zone, Japan. The P waves can be observed at a frequency band of 0.1–0.3 Hz and up to a distance of 6–7 km. The distance in which the P waves can be observed is controlled by the P incident angle and the DAS sensitivity to the observable apparent velocity. The effective extractions of P and Scholte waves are performed in correspondence to large significant wave heights of the sea surface, which indicate that these waves are originated from fluid distturbances at the sea surface.
