    We carried out continuous gravity observation with a Scintrex CG-3M gravimeter at Asama Volcano Observatory from September 4 to October 22 in 2007.We tried to detect hydrological gravity effects after heavy rainfall by Typhoon 200709 (FITOW). To detect hydrological gravity effects we supposed a simple tank model as proposed for the Matsushiro superconducting gravimeter observation, which model represented immediate gravity increase and gradual decrease after rainfall. Parameters of the tank model were estimated using an ABIC minimization iversion method and precipitation data as inputs. As a result, hydrological gravity effects were extracted from gravity residuals although gravity residuals included a large non-linear drift. And the extracted hydrological gravity effects corresponded to temporal gravity changes simultaneously observed with an FG5 absolute gravimeter. Our success promises expanding opportunities of continuous observation by using CG-3M gravimeters in the future.

    A quality control system for the global network of the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) has been developed utilizing the precise orbit determination technique. Laser-range obser- vation data for as many as 15 satellites are being processed every day within 24 to 48 hours after ranging observations, and the quality control numerical tables are available via web, ftp and email. The analysis reports, formerly provided by National Institute of Information and Communications Technology and currently by Hitotsubashi University, are widely used for detecting and alerting various kinds of problems.

    We evaluated detection levels in the time domain through the power spectra from timeseries data in order to investigate the detection abilities of the volumetric strainmeter, the multicomponent strainmeter and the GPS in the Tokai and Kanto regions for crustal deformation over a wide range of time constants. The power spectra of the strainmeter data was approximately inversely proportional to the square of the frequency f in all of the frequency domains, whereas the power spectra of the GPS data had white noise in a cycle shorter than approximately 100 days and approached f-2 in the longer cycle. These results agree with those reported in previous studies. Detection levels evaluated from the power spectra were consistent with previously estimated noise levels at certain time intervals. The evaluated detection levels of the strainmeters were widely distributed at every observation point and appeared to be dependent on both the installed depth and the media around the strainmeter. The detection level decreased as the time interval T became longer. The detection level of the strainmeter was proportional to T-0.5 in the strain rate, and the detection level of the GPS was proportional to T-1. The linear strain, areal strain and displacement caused by the long-term SSE and the short-term SSE in the Tokai region were compared with the evaluated detection levels to examine the possibility of SSE detection. These were found to be appropriate indices of detection level, because the evaluated detection levels adequately represented the actual detection of the deformations. Furthermore, the comparison suggested that the GPS may not observe both types of SSE and that the strainmeter has potential for observing long-term SSE.
