Abstract
To study the effects of snow cover and frozen ground, mine detection experiments based on acoustic to seismic (A/S) coupling have been conducted on a roadway at the Defense Research Establishment Suffield (DRES), Alberta, Canada, 5–16 February 2001. The site is a gravel road with grain or gravel sizes as large as several centimeters. The ground was frozen. Only a few measurements of acoustic-to-seismic coupling in frozen grounds have been reported. The coupling ratio is within a factor of 10 of that for unfrozen soils. The fast compressional wave speeds were expected to be significantly larger than those in unfrozen soils, while slow compressional wave speeds were expected to be possibly unchanged, except for temperature effects. Therefore, one might expect significantly larger wavelengths for the fast compressional wave and nonlocally reacting coupling. Compensation for these changes included using higher-frequency sound and normal incidence angles for the sound source. This presentation outlines the results of this testing.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
