Study of Geohydroacoustic Fields as a Physical Basis for Monitoring Local Heterogeneities and Hydrocarbon Deposits in the Arctic Region
A technique for the remote sensing of heterogeneous formations in ice-covered northern seas is described. It is shown theoretically and confirmed experimentally that localization of heterogeneities in the lithosphere–hydrosphere–ice cover system can be based on analyzing the mode structure of geohydroacoustic fields. The obtained results can serve as the physical basis of innovative technologies for passive year-round monitoring of local heterogeneities in the Arctic region.
