Abstract

Summary

This paper considers the possibilities of different transmitter and receiver systems located on drifting ice floes for electromagnetic soundings of deep-water regions of the Arctic shelf. Three systems are compared: the transmitter in the form of a circular electric dipole (CED) and the receiver in the form of a horizontal electrical line (HEL); the transmitter in the form of the horizontal electrical dipole (HED) and CED receiver; the HED transmitter and differential receivers located at different angles with respect to the transmitter. The comparative analysis of these systems is performed according to the following criteria: signal-to-noise ratio, signal measurability, and target detectability. This analysis is carried out with the use of 3D finite element modeling of geoelectromagnetic fields as well as the data measured in the Barents Sea. The approach to the magnetotelluric noise analysis is considered. It is shown that on the basis of the above-mentioned criteria, it is the differential system that has the most advantages in the conditions under consideration. This paper also shows that the signal can be measured with modern equipment for electrical exploration, the target detectability is high irrespective of the changes in the sea depths, and the signal-to-noise ratio is acceptable.
