The Geophysical Institute at the Karlsruhe Institute of technology (KIT)

receives funding for a research project at BFO within the DFG funded research unit RING: Rotations in Physics, Geophysics, and Geodesy. We will carry our ambitious research within the project on ’Environmental effects on long-period rotational measurements’. A large-N array of autonomous barometers will be deployed in the vicinity of Black Forest Observatory (BFO).

This shall provide insights into the dynamics of the local atmosphere with a temporal and spatial resolution not previously available. From the data obtained in this way parametric descriptions of time-varying lateral gradients of air-pressure shall be derived. These gradients contribute to crustal deformation.





The resulting local rotation of sensors in the observatory is sensed as a disturbance due to tilt-coupled gravity and shall be explained in a quantitative, deterministic way by the barometric time series. In the long term, this is intended to improve the quality of normal mode observations by means of a signal correction.
