Abstract
We report for the first time to our knowledge an asymmetry in the signals of the laser strainmeter at the Baksan Neutrino Observatory (BNO), Elbrus area during the first and second earthquakes in Turkey on February 6, 2023, which had nearly identical magnitudes. A correlation has been detected between the signals of the laser strainmeter and the temperature inside the bedrock foundation in the BNO dead-end tunnel, as well as the signal of aerosol lidar during the second magnitude 7.7 earthquake occurring at 10:24 UTC. The radius of the stress zone around the epicenters was estimated as ∼2000 km, which exceeds the distance to the BNO tunnels (~900 km) and thus admits of the variations of stress and strain to be seen in the signals of the laser strainmeter, the thermometer, and the lidar.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Volcanology and Seismology publishes theoretical and experimental studies, communications, and reports on volcanic, seismic, geodynamic, and magmatic processes occurring in the areas of island arcs and other active regions of the Earth. In particular, the journal looks at present-day land and submarine volcanic activity; Neogene–Quaternary volcanism; mechanisms of plutonic activity; the geochemistry of volcanic and postvolcanic processes; geothermal systems in volcanic regions; and seismological monitoring. In addition, the journal surveys earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and techniques for predicting them.
