Relationship of High-Frequency Geoacoustic Emission and Electric Field in the Atmosphere in Seismotectonic Process

摘要

In July-October 2006 and 2007, combined measurements of geoacoustic emission in the range of 2.0-6.5 kHz, the electric field in the atmosphere near the ground, and meteorological values were carried out in Kamchatka. Using the nonparametric method of Spearman's correlation analysis, the relationship between their average hourly values was examined. After excluding results of bad weather (rain, strong and moderate wind, low atmospheric pressure), a highly important negative relation between disturbances in geoacoustic emission and the electric field were detected. Most probably, it was caused by amplification of the strain of near-surface sedimentary rocks at the observation point during a seismotectonic process. The revealed relation is evidence for another manifestation of the lithosphere's influence on surface atmosphere in a seismoactive region.
