Etna discrete geodetic networks


Mt. Etna inner network


The inner network is the combination of various local networks, each of them set-up to monitor a particular phenomenon. It includes:

  • the main inner network,
  • the East-West kinematic profile,
  • he North-South kinematic profile,
  • the “Ionica” network,
  • the Pernicana networks,

and various other local networks.

From 2000, the sub-networks have been progressively merged and connected to the reference network through unique surveys. Due to the different observation strategies on the sub-networks (static and semi-kinematic), the accuracy of positioning is not the same for all points.
