# Hard- and Software Controlled Complex for Gas-Strain Monitoring of Transition Zones

## TL;DR

This paper presents a system for monitoring gas and strain in transition zones using stationary and mobile equipment to study Earth's crust deformation and greenhouse gases.

## Contribution

The novel contribution is the integration of hardware and software for gas-strain monitoring in both stationary and mobile setups.

## Key findings

- General patterns in greenhouse gas dynamics and crust deformation were observed.
- Diurnal and semi-diurnal tides influenced the measurements.
- Atmospheric waves and Earth's oscillations may affect ultra-low frequency data.

## Abstract

The article describes a hard- and software controlled complex for gas-strain monitoring, consisting of stationary laser strainmeters and a laser nanobarograph, a stationary gas analyzer, and a weather station installed at Shultz Cape in the Sea of Japan; and a mobile shipboard complex, consisting of a gas analyzer and a weather station installed in a scientific research vessel. In the course of trial methodological measurements on these systems, general patterns were identified in the dynamics of greenhouse gases and deformation of the Earth’s crust in the range of diurnal and semi-diurnal tides, and also in the range of ultra-low frequencies, caused by atmospheric wave processes and, possibly, individual tones of the Earth’s eigen oscillations.
