Summary

The paper analyses the long period seismic oscillations recorded by quartz extensometers. The similarity of the trains of long period seismic surface waves registered by extensometers and by seismographs is established. The attenuation coefficient is determined for periods up to 700 sec for the Rayleigh and Love waves multirunning around the Earth's globe.

Резюме

Проведен анализ длиннопериодных сейсмических колеба ний, зарегистрированных кварцевыми экстензометрами.

Сопоставление записей поверхностных сейсмических вол н с большими периодами на экстензометрах и длиннопериодных сейсмографах показало идентичность регистрируемых волновых цугов.

Получены величины коэффициентов поглощения и добротно сти для колебаний с периодами до 700 секунд в волнах Лява и Релея многократно обежавших земной шар.
