The gravity meter provides measurements of variation of the vertical component of the acceleration with respect to an initial reference value.</p> <p><b>Purpose:</b> The comparison between seismic signal with the continuous gravimetric measurement can help to characterise different styles of the Etna volcanic activity.</p> <p><b>Quality of data:</b> The gravity meter acquires one sample per second in continuous mode. The data show a good signal to noise ratio (S/N).</p>
