Résumé

Borehole tiltmeters are widely used to continuously record small surface deformation of reservoirs and volcanoes. Because these instruments display unknown long-term drift, only short-term tilt signal can be used for monitoring purpose. We propose a method to invert long-term time series of tilt data induced by strain variations at depth. The assumption that tiltmeter drift is linear over time is on its own insufficient to remove the drift and uniquely determine the deformation source parameters. To overcome this problem, we first invert the data with no constrain on the drift to obtain one particular solution among all admissible. Then, using the linearity of the forward model, we use the statistical properties of the drift distributions to restore the uniqueness of the solution. We illustrate our approach with four synthetic cases simulating volume changes of a reservoir. We demonstrate the efficiency of our method and show that the accuracy of estimated volume variation dramatically improves if low drift tiltmeters are used.
