Abstract
The differences in the metrological support, problem statement, and practice of conducting measurements and using data in a typical physical experiment and geophysical monitoring are discussed. The strong difference in metrological support in these cases is consistent with the practice of using the results obtained. Due to the specific nature of the typical problem setting and use of geophysical monitoring data, the inevitable and poorly controlled errors in these data are relatively less detrimental to the use of the data than would be the case in typical physical surveys. Geophysical monitoring tools often track the behavior of highly nonequilibrium systems, often with a subcritical behavioral pattern, which leads to great variability in their behavioral pattern. Examples of false, but at the same time statistically significant anomalies are given. The features of using statistical approaches in the analysis of nonequilibrium systems with a subcritical nature of behavior are discussed; in this case, some standard statistical approaches may be incorrect.
期刊介绍:
Seismic Instruments is a journal devoted to the description of geophysical instruments used in seismic research. In addition to covering the actual instruments for registering seismic waves, substantial room is devoted to solving instrumental-methodological problems of geophysical monitoring, applying various methods that are used to search for earthquake precursors, to studying earthquake nucleation processes and to monitoring natural and technogenous processes. The description of the construction, working elements, and technical characteristics of the instruments, as well as some results of implementation of the instruments and interpretation of the results are given. Attention is paid to seismic monitoring data and earthquake catalog quality Analysis.
