Barometric pressure-induced noise in records of broadband seismometers, strainmeters and tiltmeters is one of the major limiting fac tors in analyzing the data for studies of the Earth’s interior structure and prope ties. Even the instruments at the Black Forest Observatory (BFO), installed in a d epth of 170 m in a mountain behind an air-lock door, are influenced. We invest igate the physical transfer mechanisms for pressure-induced noise with the he lp of a Finite Element model of the BFO, emphasizing the effect of pressure changes on the horizontal components at different locations inside a vault, e. g. on pi ers and in niches. The results show noise amplification factors of up to 37 within a d istance of 1 m, and changes in the direction of the measured components. Each co mponent is influenced differently, which makes it difficult to determine the best location to place. In addition, former results can be confirmed and suggestions for a correction can be drawn.
