The results of the coherent-time analysis of recordings at the three-component registration made to identify endogenous microcracks hidden by microseismic noise are presented. Their power, number, and azimuths are calculated. The possibility of using an autostructural function for the time series of a stream of micropulses at long-term recording of microseisms is shown to identify the self-organization of crustal blocks by similarities in their geodynamics.

The time clustering of strong earthquakes (<i>М</i> ≥ 5.6, <i>I</i> ≥ IX) in Italy, Greece, and Turkey in the 17th–19th centuries has made it possible to identify a number of SAs of various durations both in each country and in the whole region. However, the revealed recurrences are extremely uneven in the time range, the number of earthquakes, and the intervals between the individual SAs. Italy is recorded to have had 12 SAs; the 17th and 18th centuries are characterized by the maximum seismic activity, declining gradually by the 19th century. Nine and eight SAs were detected in Greece and Turkey, respectively, with seismic activity increasing strongly in these countries in the 19th century.

Seismic vibrations are a hindrance that reduces the accuracy of the experimental setup when studying materials with precision accuracy and resolution. The experiment was performed with broadband seismological equipment used at seismological stations. Seismic vibrations from different types of sources have been investigated: natural and man-made earthquakes, industrial explosions, noises of automobile and railway transport, vibrations from industrial equipment at enterprises located away from the facility under construction. Natural earthquakes create the strongest broadband impact on the site. Man-made earthquakes in the area of the Gorlovka coal basin can create short-term strong seismic impacts. Industrial explosions in terms of the seismic impact on the site are significantly inferior to the effects of earthquakes and are characterized by a more limited spectral composition of vibrations. The noises of motor transport cover frequencies from 4 to 30 Hz and quickly fade away along the site with distance from the road. Railway noises have the characteristic appearance of a set of multiple harmonics covering a wide frequency range with a duration of up to 10 min. Monochromatic signals from the operation of industrial equipment on and off the site are recorded at the site. At the same time, both continuous signals and those that occur episodically are recorded. A special class consists of monochromatic oscillations with a slowly varying frequency.

During this time, more than 15 trips were made from the fundamental gravimetric point Ledovo to the first class point Zapolskoe and back using two CG 5 Autograv automated relative gravimeters. The most significant parameters that affect the readings of the instruments were identified: ambient temperature, the values of the zero drift of the sensing element of the gravimeter, and the direct increment of gravity. The zero drift was taken into account using a second-order polynomial prediction, and the remaining two parameters were described by a logarithmic dependence. The natural logarithm equation allows describing the functions by measuring the coefficient before the logarithm (logarithmic) and additional (linear). The value of the logarithmic coefficients characterizing the duration of transient processes has a linear dependence on temperature, which means that it can characterize the measurement time at the point in the case of a significant temperature change. The magnitude of the linear coefficients characterizing the increase in gravity depends linearly on temperature when the instruments are moved to a colder environment. When the instruments are moved to a warmer environment (10°), the dependence becomes more complex, possibly random, which also requires an increase in the measurement time at the point. The usual duration of measurements at gravimetric stations is 10 min. The relevance of taking temperature into account at measurement points depends on the required accuracy, for example, for a temperature difference of 10°C, the RMS of gravimetric measurements was ±0.025 mGal.</p>","PeriodicalId":45174,"journal":{"name":"Seismic Instruments","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"5172277","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thus, this study, which offers another approach to creating a discriminatory feature, may be useful for improving the results of recognition of a seismic event. The proposed method is based on continuous wavelet analysis of the seismogram from a single receiver. Two additional transformations (constructing the frequency envelopes to waveletogram and their cross-correlation at a given time) sequentially translate this result into a compact frequency-time portrait of the event. This technique was tested on seismograms of several events, the nature of which is a priori known. Recognition is possible both visually (including machine vision methods) and automatically. For the first option, the key features of frequency-time portraits of events to which attention should be paid are formulated. For the second case, a method for determining the numerical characteristics measured by the obtained images is defined. It is shown that these characteristics are naturally divided into clusters that correspond to the nature of the events.</p>","PeriodicalId":45174,"journal":{"name":"Seismic Instruments","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"5172265","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
