Maxwell's equations for the Earth's electromagnetic fields of force and without it

Electromagnetic fields that are observed on the Earth with the worldwide network of magnetic observatories as well as regional means when surveying the Earth's interior are conventionally considered to be force and one-mode fields.

For the numerical modeling of electromagnetic fields observed on the…

Modern electrodynamics for the Earth's physics

Electromagnetic methods for studying the Earth, electromagnetic techniques of geophysical prospecting, in particular, are conventionally based on the fact that any electromagnetic field, either observed on the Earth or artificially excited by generators, satisfy Maxwell's equations and is…

Catalog and database on the Earth impact structures

An Expert Database on the Earth Impact Structures (EDEIS) has been compiled and is being maintained in the Tsunami Laboratory of the Institute of Computational Mathematics and Mathematical Geophysics of SB RAS in Novosibirsk. The database has been developed on the basis of the catalog of Earth…

A new method for determination of a wave-ray trace based on tsunami isochrones

A new method for the tsunami wave ray construction is proposed. It is based on isochrones that are built with the use of the wave travel times to a tsunami source. The wave ray approximation is determined as a broken line passing through intersection points of identical time isochrones from two…

Directivity of tsunami generated by subduction zone sources

In a subduction zone, a tsunami source is usually situated above the continental bottom slope. Due to the wave refraction, the opposite slope of a deep water trench works like an optical lens for tsunami waves. The tsunami propagation process is studied using the wave-ray approximation. The tsunami…

Some analytical solutions for tsunami wave rays and front

Methods for computing wave kinematics are wide-spread for studying the wave propagation in non-homogeneous media. Exact analytical solutions for nontrivial media are needed for testing such methods. The formula describing the wave-front shape has been found for some media with a power dependence of…

A brief review of the author's catalog of the Earth's Impact structures, presented on the site of ICM&MG, is given in this paper. For the research into general laws of distribution with space of the impact structures compiling the catalog and for the analysis of their parameters it is offered to use…

Inverse algorithm for recovering a tsunami source using truncated SVD

The inverse problem to infer the initial water displacement is treated as an ill-posed problem of the hydrodynamic inversion of tsunami tide gauge records. To this end, we have developed a technique based on the least square inversion and a truncated SVD approach. The proposed filtering technique…
