  abstract = {{T}he horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratios ({HVSR}s) of ambient vibrations are commonly used to observe soil resonance frequencies, which are revealed by {HVSR} curve peaks. {T}hese resonances have been explained either in terms of {S}-wave transfer function or in terms of {R}ayleigh-wave ellipticity. {I}n this study, ambient vibration recordings have been carried out next to nine boreholes in the eastern {M}itidja basin ({A}lgeria), all of which have been characterized by downhole geophysical surveys. {U}sing velocity profiles obtained from the downhole surveys, we compare the frequency of the second {HVSR} peak (f({HV})) to frequencies obtained with (1) the time-averaged velocity (f({T})), (2) depth-averaged velocity (f({D})), (3) the {SH} transfer function (f({SH})), and (4) the fundamental-mode {R}ayleigh-wave ellipticity (f({E})). {W}e find that f({SH}), f({T}), and f({D}) fit well with f({HV}), whereas this is not the case for f({E}), implying that the {HVSR} peak frequency is better explained by the {SH} transfer function peak than by the {R}ayleigh-wave ellipticity.},
