Subduction zones around Japan are covered with sediments, where precise geodetic measurements for observation of seafloor crustal movements can be difficult. This study aims at examining the stability of seafloor geodetic measurements on the sediments: tilt measurements on a platform with pipes installed in sefloor sediments, precise point positioning and observation of ocean bottom pressure variations with self-landing instrumentsWe have developed two sets of ocean bottom tiltmeter system for deployment by a remotely operated vehicle. The tiltmeter was divided into two parts for operation on the seafloor. A procedure for automatic leveling of the gimbals was improved to reduce consumption of the batteriesWe have confirmed resolution and stability of qaurtz pressure sensor through analysis of ocean bottom pressure data observed by three sensors over a spreading axis of the southern Pacific Rise for 14 manths in 1997-98. All of the sensors recorded pressure increase following the demise of the big 1997-98 El Nino event. The pressure variation suggests an ocean dynamics which can explain an abrupt change of J2 term of the Earth's gravity field. The results also suggest depression of the seafloor near the spreading centerIn July 2002 we could visually observe how a seafloor instrument for point positioning was deployed on the seafloor covered with thick sedimentary layer. The base of the instrument, 1m square of FRP mesh, looked quite stable and sunk only 1cm or less after deployment of 1year. We could confirm that we can carry out precise pressure monitoring and point positioning on thick sediments by using such a base

日本周围的俯冲带覆盖着沉积物，在那里进行精确的大地测量以观察海底地壳运动可能很困难。本研究旨在探讨海底大地测量在沉积物上的稳定性：在海床沉积物中安装管道的平台上进行倾斜测量，精确的点定位和使用自动着陆仪器观测海底压力变化。我们开发了两套海底倾斜仪系统，供远程操作车辆部署。倾斜仪分为两部分，以便在海底操作。通过对1997-98年南太平洋隆起扩展轴上3个传感器连续14个月的海底压力观测数据的分析，证实了石英压力传感器的分辨率和稳定性。在1997-98年厄尔尼诺现象结束后，所有的传感器都记录到了压力的增加。压力的变化暗示了一种海洋动力学，可以解释地球重力场J2项的突变。2002年7月，我们可以直观地看到，在覆盖着厚厚的沉积层的海床上部署了海底测点仪。仪器的底座，1米见方的玻璃钢网，看起来相当稳定，在部署1年后只下沉了1厘米或更少。我们可以确认，利用这样的基地，我们可以对厚沉积物进行精确的压力监测和点定位
