New results of the extensometric measurements at Budapest observatory Gyula Mentes1, Ildikó Eper-Pápai1, Márta Kis2, Gábor újvári1 1Geodetic and Geophysical Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, 2E?tv?s Loránd Geophysical Institute of Hungary Abstract First in Hungary two extensometers were installed by the E?tv?s Loránd Geophysical Institute between 1980 and 1990. Both instruments had been working till 1996. After a recording break of about 7 years the instruments were renewed in 2004 and the extensometers have been recording continuously since that year. In this paper the first data series are analysed. On the basis of the new data series the influence of environmental parameters is also investigated and the possible conclusions in connection with the stability of the observatory are drawn. 1. Introduction The first extensometer in Hungary was installed by the E?tv?s Loránd Geophysical Institute (ELGI) in Budapest in the frame of a scientific co-operation with the Geophysical Institute in Moscow (Latinina et al., 1984) in the spring of 1980. The displacement sensor of this instrument was a photo-recorder and in 1981 a capacitive transducer developed in the Geodetic and Geophysical Research Institute (GGRI) was mounted. The second extensometer was built at the end of the eighties. This later instrument was equipped with a capacitive sensor (Mentes, 1981, 1991). In the middle of the nineties extensometric measurements in the observatory were finished due to technical and financial problems. In 2004 these instruments were renewed and equipped with new capacitive sensors which were produced in the GGRI and a new digital data acquisition system was installed by ELGI in the observatory. In this paper the deformation registrations of the new instruments are presented and compared with the results of the former measurements. On the basis of registrations the influence of environmental parameters are also investigated and possible conc
