TITLE: The influence of the relief of the Earth's surface upon the
propagation of microseisms
PERIODICALs Vestnik Moskovskogb universiteta. Seriya 3, fizika,
astronomiya, no. 1, 1961, 3-12
TEXT: An attempt has been made to estimate the influence of the relief of
the Earth's surface upon the propagation of microseisms. This is
necessary for the exploration of the upper layers of the Earth's crust,
for the choice of a net of research stations, etc. In the present study,
an ultrasonic model was used. Between 1956 and 1959, about forty micro-
seismic "storms" were observed in the USSR and in Europe. The storm
observed on February 1-3, 1958, is subjected to a close expination. The
epicenter of this storm was at 15 000' east longitude and 69 20' north
latitude, i.e., along the north-western shore of Scandinavia. For com-
parison of the seismic intensity, the quantity (A/T)2 was determined at

various stations (A - amplitude, T - period). The following relation
holds for the energy of the seismic focus: ln f + ln E - k& = lnf(A/T
(1), where A denotesthe distance of the station from the epicenter, k the
absorption coefficient, f a factor accounting for the type of focus, for
the peculiarities of the propagation path, and for the particulars of the
recording station. k is practically constant, and so is f when epicenter
and station are axially symmetric. For stations equidistant from the
epicenter, the ratio A/T may be determined from an ln[(A/T)~'Aj - versus -A
diagram. In the present study, the distance between epicenter and
Ashkhabad (660 km) was taken as a standard, Ao . When constructing models
for studying the influence of the Earth's relief upon seismic intensity,
the authors assumed that: a) seismic waves are superficial Rayleigh
surface waves, b) the medium is continuous and homogeneous along the way
of propagation. The models were made of 3 mm. thick plexiglass with the
relief engraved on the sides. A stack of 10 ammonium dihydrophosphate
layers (2-2-2 cm) was used as a source of elastic waves. The period of
emission was T - 17.4-10-6 sec. BaTiO 3 plates (2 mm thick) glued into the

model served as receivers. The scale of the model was 1 : 1,000,000.
Procedure was as followss 1) measurement of the amplitude of Rayleigh
waves for a smooth surface, 2) cutting of the relief corresponding to the
natural one, and measurement of the amplitude, 3) calculation of the ratio
A/A control of the amplitudes as measured by the main and control receivers
for a smooth ("A".) and a rough 6Vd surface, 4) calculation of which
A
is a measure for the influence of the relief. This quantity was then
divided by the same quantity for the distance between epicenter and
Ashkhabad. For a number of stations ("Warsaw", "Moscow", "Makhachkala"),
agreement between observation in nature and model experiment was good;
for other stations, however, a discrepancy was found ("Goris", "Triest",
"Semipalatinsk"). This discrepancy was subjected to further examinatio 11
for the line epicenter - Moscow - Goris because, according to the results,
the source of trouble lies between Moscow and Goris: namely, the Caucasus
Mountains, i.e., the Tauro-Caucasian geosyncline with mesocenozoic sedi-
ments of a depth of 8-10 km. In the model, this was realized by cutting
out parts from the sides of a plexiglass plate (native rock) and filling
this profile with a paraffin-polyethylene mixture (representing the

sediments)~ With such a model, agreement was satisfactory for the line
Moscow - Goris, too, particularly when discontinuities of the medium on the
natural line are taken into consideration. A similar influence is exerted
by the Alps on the line epicenter - Triest, and by the Ural Mountains on
the line epicenter - Semipalatinsk. These studies showed that not only
the surface of the Earth affects the intensity of microseismic waves, but
also any change in the medium through which these waves are passing. There
are 6 figures, 3 tables, and 9 references: 5 Soviet-bloc and 4 non-Soviet-
bloc. The reference to the English-language publication reads as follows:

use a method of J. Dorman (Ref. 7: Numerical solution for Love ave

illustrated in Pigs. 12 and 13. The comment on Fig. 12 is that the
scatter horizontally may be accounted for by errors in reading T

TITLE: Structure of the earth's crust in Siberia and the

PER10DICAL: Akademiya nauk SSSR. Izvestiya. Seriya geofiziches-

TEXT: This paper was presented at an augmented seminar of the
Otdel seysmologii i seysmicheskoy sluzhby (Division of Seismology
and Seismic Service) which dealt with surface waves and was held
at Simferopol' between October 1 - 5, 1960. The authors deter-
mined the mean crust thickness in Siberia and the Soviet Par East
from 42 seismograms of recent (1954-59) earthquakes in the We-
stern Pacific, recorded at Sverdlovsk, Semipalatin-sk, Irkutsk
and Kyakhta. For each earthquake group velocities were found se-
parately for Love and Rayleigh waves. These experimental group
velocities were then compared with theoretical values published V/

by J. Dorman (Ref. 1: Numerical Solutions for Love Wave Dispersion
on a Half-Space with a Double Surface Layer. Geophys., 24 (1959))
and by R. Stoneley (Ref. 2: Rayleigh Ylaves in a Medium with Two
Surface Layers. Month. Not. Roy. Astr,, Soc. Geophys. SuPpl., 7,
no. 2 (1955)). A two-layer of the crust was assumed in calcula-
tions. The mean crust thickness in Siberia and the Soviet Far
East, determined from dispersion of Love waves ', varied from 25 to
35 km. The dispersion of Rayleigh waves indicated a thickness of
the order of 35 km. The greater crust thickness deduced from Ray-
leigh waves may be due to the stronger dispersion of these waves
over oceanic paths. The results indicated that the granite layer
of Siberia and the Soviet Far East was 1,5 - 2 times thicker than V/
the basalt layer. The total mean thickness of the crust in middle
latitudes of Siberia and the Soviet Far East is probably somewhat
smaller than the thickness in the northern and southern parts of
Siberia, but this requires verification. There are 3 figures, 2
tables and 2 non-Soviet-bloc references. The references to the
