Notes:
The 430 km long DSS Baltic profile in SE Finland runs through the Rapakivi intrusion, the Svecokarelian geosynclinal complex, including the Ladoga-Bothnian Bay zone, and the Archean basement complex. A brief description of field operations in 1982 is presented. Record sections of P- and S-waves were used for the interpretations. A starting model was constructed by inverse methods and improved by dynamic ray tracing modelling. Three blocks are indentified on the cross-section from SW to NE. These are the southern, associated with the Rapakivi Massif, depth to Moho (M) about 40 km; the central, Ladoga-Bothnian Bay zone, with M of approximately 55-60 km, and the northern, Archean crystalline basement, with M about 40-45 km. The average crustal velocity is 6.6-6.7 km s−1. The crustal structure along the Baltic profile is compared with the surrounding DSS profiles, Finnish Sveka and Soviet Kem-Tulos and Ladoga profiles. The eastern border of the Ladoga-Bothnian Bay zone was located and specific features of the crust and uppermost mantle along the profile area are discussed.
