METHOD OF DETERMINING SEISMIC IMPACT PARAMETRES Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC G01V1/00 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: proposed invention relates to seismology and can be used in designing geophysical exploration systems in earthquake prone regions. The method of determining seismic impact parametres involves measuring a precursor signal in two spaced out points spaced and in two mutually orthogonal planes using sensors which are lowered onto the base of deep casing wells, processing the detected signal and calculation of the phase centre of the signal source as the point of intersection of radius vectors of transfer of energy of the signal n space. Acoustic noise of the Earth is detected using geophones. The recorded data sequence is displayed in form of Poincare diagrams. The time moment at which the ratio of mathematical expectation to the mean square deviation is greater than two is recorded and is taken as the onset of the seismic process. A section of the transient process function is obtained, from which rate of change of the period of the signal is calculated, and is equated to rate of change of the consolidated mass of the earthquake focus. The time of the expected shock and magnitude of the shock are predicted from the Gutenberg-Richter relation.

EFFECT: possibility of predicting an earthquake, increased reliability and accuracy of calculating predicted parametres of the seismic shock.
