The Baikal Ice-Based Seismoacoustic Experiment

The results of a geophysical field experiment on the ice sheet of Lake Baikal are presented. The experiment was carried out in order to obtain a better understanding of generation and propagation of geo-hydroacoustic waves in the lithosphere–hydrosphere–ice system characterized by a layered structure. For the first time, the recording of signals from a distant vibroseismic source by means of an ice-based seismo-hydroacoustic array consisting of separate elements has been demonstrated.
