Instrumental study of high-frequency seismoacoustic signal modulation in a deep drillhole

Abstract

For many years we have failed to record instrumentally the background variations in seismoacoustic emission in solid consolidated rocks of the Earth’s crust at great depths (3200 m) and to confirm their relation to lunar-solar gravitation. We managed to fulfill the task only with significantly improved parameters of the recording system measurement channel. As follows from analysis of new data, the amplitudes in the diurnal cycle vary from 1930 to 2100 fm (10−15) for the band of 160 Hz and from 129.5 to 132 fm for the band of 500 Hz, while the energy model correlation coefficients are within 0.737–0.852. Hence, this fact proves once again that background variations related to lunar-solar tides are universal in occurrence, and their frequency and amplitude depend significantly on the host rocks, position, and time of observations, while the energy model fits in these variations.
