Russians will be heard even under the ice of the Arctic
Unique technology Ice communication is jointly developed by Russian and Chinese scientists. The problem of developing the Arctic region for modern Russia is very relevant.
The Arctic spaces conceal huge reserves of natural resources, including oil and gas. It is advisable to begin the development of the bowels of the Arctic from shallow areas, but here industry is faced with the problem of the propagation of elastic waves in shallow water. Russian scientists from the Far Eastern Federal University and their Chinese colleagues from Harbin University of Engineering are jointly trying to solve this problem.
Testing of the technology took place in Novik Bay in Vladivostok. Using a special pneumatic hydroacoustic emitter of Russian scientists and high-precision seismic receivers from Harbin specialists, ice cover vibrations were measured. It was possible to find out that 95% of the sound is absorbed by ice, i.e. ice conducts sonar signals.
When scientists have established all the nuances of the propagation of elastic waves in the thickness of the ice, it will be easier to develop a system that provides communication in gas and oil fields in the Arctic.
