Abstract

Considered are some results of radio sensing conducted for the Kheetei karst ice cave in Zabaikalskii region. The cave roof was investigated by the active and passive radar techniques and infrared imaging. Revealed were sources of heat, air flows and the dislocation of rocks along the fissure under the hoar-frost layer. This technique may be used in regular measurements in order to study both changes in conditions of hollow subterranean formations and thermal processes in the environment.
