Ultralow to low-frequency oscillatory phenomena of elastomechanical nature have been observed in a number of geothermal areas. These include pressure and water level oscillations in the tidal frequency range 10{sup -6} to 10{sup -4} Hz (White, 1968), flow oscillations at around 10{sup -3} Hz (Bodvarsson and Bjornsson, 1976) and ground noise in the range 10{sup -1} to 10 Hz (Douze and Sorrel, 1972). The presence of such oscillations conveys certain information on the underlying geothermal systems which is of both theoretical and practical interest. In the following, we will very briefly discuss a few aspects relating to the interpretation of oscillatory field data with the main emphasis on borehole tides. 3 figs., 4 refs.
