Abstract
This paper considers a new approach to solving the problem of quantitative estimation of the microseism energy for underground sources that is based on the synthesis of noise interferometry and the passive seismic method of the gradient system. The selection of a seismic field of the underground sources is considered in an experiment conducted in the Tien Shan region. The peculiarities of approach include the separation of vertical microseisms in the ambient seismic noise field structure according to the data of the seismic gradient system and a passive noise interferometry diagram, where microseisms from the underground sources are used as the seismic signal source. It is shown that the use of noise interferometry and passive seismic gradient system allows using the synchronous microseism recordings in a small number of points for passive medium sensing, and leads to the restoration of unknown energy parameters of the seismic field of underground sources.
