Application Study on Correction Method for Lag of Water Level Response to Earth Tide and Atmospheric Pressure

INTRODUCTIONBased onthe results gathered after manyyears of seismic groundwater observation,itisfoundthatthe water level in deep wells responds to the earth’s tide and atmospheric pressure and changesaccordingly,not onlyin amplitude ,but also in the phase lag by different degrees .Some phase lagslast onlyfor several minutes ,while some last aslong as more than one hour (Zhang Zhaodong,1988 ;Wang Chengmin,1990) .The result of this theoretical research shows that the phase lag response to…

Application Study on Correction Method for Lag of Water Level Response to Earth Tide and Atmospheric Pressure

The water level in a deep well instantly responds to the earth's tide and atmospheric pressure, and varies accordingly, not only in terms of amplitude but also in the phase lag. Therefore, phase lag correction is used in analyzing digital groundwater observation data in eastern China. Calculation results presented by the authors in this paper show that the correction method is effective in the identification of anomalous changes for short-term seismic precursors. The correction method can also be applied to the processing of observed deformation and tilt data.
