The first results of unique experiments on the synchronous registration of seismic-strain oscillations of the Earth’s surface by three laser interferometers-deformographs (strainmeters) spaced 6740 km apart are presented. Two 100-meter laser interferometers at the Fryazino site (Moscow Region) and the 18-meter laser strainmeter at the observation point of Karymshina (Kamchatka Peninsula) were applied. The frequency-stabilized and thermally controlled lasers and the interferogram registration systems of compensation and modulation types providing an absolute instrumental resolution of 0.1-0.01 nm were used. The results of data analysis in sessions of synchronous operation of these instruments during 2016-2020 were obtained and discussed.
Abstract. The most destructive disasters such as the strongest earthquakes and the most powerful tropical cyclones can be treated as tightly coupled geophysical phenomena in their origin. Results of comparison of geophysical field variations and seismic activity of the Earth have evidently shown the correlation between lithosphere–atmosphere interactive disturbances, tropical cyclonic activity in the World Ocean, and seismic processes in the solid Earth. The ground-based laser interferometer techniques being supplemented by satellite observational systems can be considered as promising methods for common earthquake and hurricane monitoring and prediction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
