In this paper, the problem of interaction of acoustic waves falling at a given angle on a snow layer on the ground and seismic waves arising both in this layer and in the ground is considered. A system of differential equations with boundary conditions describing the propagation of incident and reflected acoustic waves in the air refracted and reflected from the boundary of seismic waves in elastic media (snow and ground) is constructed and solved for a three-layer air-snow layer-ground model. The coefficients of reflection and refraction are calculated in the case of an acoustic wave falling onto both the ground and snow on the ground. The ratio of the energy of the refracted waves to the energy of the falling acoustic wave is obtained. It is noted that snow has a strong influence on the energy transfer into the ground, which can decrease by more than an order of magnitude. The numerical results obtained are consistent with the results of field experiments with a vibrational source performed by the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
