Description
Summary:The paper describes a planetary laser interferometric seismoacoustic observatory consisting of six stationary unequal arm laser strainmeters. Based on the triangulation method, the fundamentals of direction finding of various infrasound disturbances at any planetary distance have been developed. The authors show that in addition to determining locations of the occurrence of the recorded disturbance, using data from spatially separated laser strainmeters, it is possible to determine the nature of these signals’ divergence and, also, the loss of their energy in the propagation medium. The creation of the planetary laser interferometric seismoacoustic observatory, consisting of five stationary single-coordinate laser strainmeters and one two-coordinate laser strainmeter, united into a single measuring network with an accurate time clock TRIMBLE 5700 that is capable of recording displacements on their bases with an accuracy of 10 pm in the frequency range from 0 (conventionally) to 1000 Hz and two auxiliary laser strainmeters, will allow us to determine, at any planetary distance, the primary source of deformation infrasound disturbances with primary amplitudes from 100 nm.
