Studying of Deformation Processes by Two-Coordinate Laser Strainmeter

The results of experimental data processing of a two-coordinate laser strainmeter are discussed. The two-coordinate laser strainmeter consists of two laser strainmeters which measuring shoulders are oriented along the lines “North- South” and “West-East”. Measurement accuracy of the earth's crust microdisplacements of these devices makes 0 to1 nm. Working frequency range is from 0 to 1000 Hz. Processing experimental data the main attention is paid to high tides, natural oscillations of the Earth, natural oscillations of geoblocks, superficial sea waves. It is established that after separate earthquakes the natural oscillations of regional geoblocks are strongly excited. Besides, it is revealed that quasiperiodic fluctuations of crust in the range of periods from 1 to 12 min. are caused by atmospheric processes.
