https://doi.org/10.18303/2619-1563-2021-1-38
Abstract
Whereas the defined velocity model plays a key role in the process of seismic events localization, so selection of the model as much as possible corresponding to the real velocity conditions of the investigated area becomes a crucial task. Basing on the analyses of published results of the Lake Baikal area seismic study a layered P-waves models for two situations defined: For the high velocity consolidated rock on the lake banks and low velocity sediments up to 10 km thick under the lake bottom.
