Infrasonic Signals from Earthquakes of December 5, 2014, in the Water Area of Lake Hovsgol, Northern Mongolia

Resumo

A comprehensive analysis of waveforms of seismic and infrasonic vibrations from the earthquake that occurred on December 5, 2014, in the water area of Lake Hovsgol was performed. The analysis showed that the infrasonic signal recorded at the Tory station (Geophysical Observatory of the Institute of Solar-Terrestrial Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences) was formed by the sources of three generation types: local, secondary, and epicentral. The obtained results gave support to the model of epicentral infrasonic signal generation by flexural waves from an elastic ice membrane on the surface of Lake Hovsgol.
