METHOD FOR DETECTION OF LITHOSPHERE REGIONS WITH ALTERNATING GEODYNAMIC ACTIVITY Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: investigation of physical processes in near-earth space within topside ionosphere. SUBSTANCE: invention may be used for estimations in seismology, oil geology, hydrogeology of effects pertaining to geodynamic tension regions. The method involves analysis of satellite results of simultaneous measurements of magnetic and electric components of low-frequency noise radiation fields, density of heat electron flow and temperature of plasma around satellite. Analysis of information excludes regions of typically intensive radiation and regions of anthropogenic radiation. Lithosphere regions with alternating geodynamic activity are detected, upon stable (at least 1-2 minutes) observation of regions with simultaneously induced radiation, which is greater than natural background by 15-20 dB, flows of low-power electrons and jumps of plasma temperature around satellite. When correlation of said parameters is at least 0.6-0.7, then results are compared to geological and geophysical maps of lithosphere within projection of satellite orbit onto Earth. When effect is repeated several times, lithosphere regions with alternating geodynamic activity are treated as detected. EFFECT: increased validity of detection and increased reliability of mapping of high-risk regions. 2 dwg
