Data are recorded every ten minutes on a solid state memory. The analysis of the data allows us to establish the existence of electromagnetic fields of distant origin connected with broadcastings and with tropical lightning activity and the discontinuous presence of local electric and magnetic signals, coupled with seismoacoustic ones, connected with weather events. A qualitative explanation of these near fields is given.188 325 - PublicationOpen AccessThe Benthic Boundary Layer: geochemical and oceanographic data from the GEOSTAR-2 observatory(2006-03-20)

Gas concentration, helium isotopic ratios, radioactivity, temperature, salinity and vertical component of the current converged towards the indication of a BBL characterised by a colder and fresher western water (WW), which is episodically displaced by the cascading of the warmer and saltier Eastern Overflow Water (EOW). The benthic WW has higher concentration of geochemical tracers diffusing from the seafloor sediments. The data set shows the potential of long-term, continuous and multiparametric monitoring in providing unique information which cannot be acquired by traditional, short-term or single-sensor investigations.312 418 - PublicationOpen AccessRigorous time domain responses of polarizable media II(1998-08)
; ; ;Caputo, M.; Dipartimento di Fisica, Universitá La Sapienza, Roma, Italy ;Plastino, W.; Dipartimento di Fisica, Universitá Roma Tre, Roma, Italy; We present and test in detail with synthetic data a method which may be used to retrieve the parameters describing the induced polarization properties of media which fit the generally accepted frequency dependent formula of Cole and Cole (1941) (CC model). We use time domain data and rigorous formulae obtained from the exact solution of the problem found in a previous note (Caputo, 1996). The observed data considered here are the theoretical responses of the medium to box inputs of given duration in media defined with different parameters; however, as is usually done, only the discharge data are used (Patella >F2F1<, 1987). The curve at the beginning of the discharge is studied in some detail. The method is successful in identifying the parameters when the data fit the CC model; if the medium is not exactly of the CC type the method may also help identify how the medium departs from the CC model. The Laplace Transform of the discharge for a box type input data is also given.119 181 - PublicationOpen AccessNormal and anomalous behaviour of electric, magnetic and seismoacoustic signals recorded in the Amare cave(1996-01)

Equipment detecting RMC (Principality of Monaco) longwave broadcasting (216 kHz) has been operating in the same place. Data collected during this period have pointed out two different phenomena called «quiet» and «perturbed» that characterize the normal behaviour of the cave. On 25 August 1992 an earthquake with M = 3.9 occurred in the Gran Sasso area and on 4 June 1993 an earthquake with M = 4.3 occurred in Umbria, 100 km to north of the Amare cave. Before these earthquakes, electromagnetic, seismoacoustic, and RMC data showed anomalies. Here we present the observed phenomenology and discuss the possibility that the anomalies can be considered precursors of the earthquakes.166 195
