(updateAfter Eric gave me feedback on my previous elog post, I went back and fixed some of the silly stuff I stated.
First of all, I have come to realized that it makes zero sense to plot the ASD's of the mode cleaner against the seismometer noise. These measurements are not only quite different, but elementary, they posess different units. I have focused my attention to the MCL being Wiener filtered with the three siesmometer signals.
One of the major improvements that I make in the following analysis is,
1) Prefiltering; a band pass filter from 1 to 5 Hz, in order to emphasize subtraction of the bump shown in the figure below.
2) I have used vectfit exclusively in the 1 to ~5 Hz range, in order to model the FIR filter properly, as in, the kind of subtraction that we care about. Limiting myself to the 1 - 5 Hz range has allowed me to play freeley with the number of poles, hence being able to fit the FIIR filter properly with an IIR rational transfer function properly,
The resulting ASD's are shown below, in blue we show the raw MCL output, in blac the Wiener filter (FIR) result, and finally in black, the resultant data being filtered with the calculated IIR Wiener filter.

Now, in the following plots I show the IIR Wiener filters for each of the three seismometers,
X Seismometer,


For the Y seismometer,


and for the Z seismometer,
