Abstract
The experience of several authors has shown that continuous measurements of the gravity field, accomplished through springdevices, are strongly affected by changes of the ambient temperature. The apparent, temperature-driven, gravity changes can beup to one order of magnitude higher than the expected changes of the gravity field. Since these effects are frequency-dependentand instrument-related, they must be removed through non-linear techniques and in a case-by-case fashion. Past studies havedemonstrated the effectiveness of a Neuro-Fuzzy algorithm as a tool to reduce continuous gravity sequences for the effect ofexternal temperature changes. In the present work, an upgraded version of this previously employed algorithm is tested againstthe signal from a gravimeter, which was installed in two different sites over consecutive 96-day and 163-day periods. The betterperformance of the new algorithm with respect to the previous one is proven. Besides, inferences about the site and/or seasonaldependence of the model structure are reported.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
