摘      要：The Phlegrean Fields are an area in the west of Naples （Italy）, with a huge interest in geophysical community being a volcanic caldera among the most dangerous in the world. Various techniques of monitoring exist. Among all, the control of ground deformations and variations in sea level has considerable importance. Time series of ground deformation and tidal data in this area have been analysed to highlight these important geophysical features and these results are compared with those obtained from similar data in other time periods. With regard to first mentioned, tiltmetric data have been analysed. These ones come from the tiltmeter network sited in Pozzuoli. Instead, the tidal data come from the tide gauge in Pozzuoli. Data have been analysed by means of a wavelet approach, using a Continuos Wavelet Transform and using, as so-called ＂Wavelet Mother＂, a Gabor-Morlet wavelet. For each time series, the principal harmonic constituents result： lunar semidiurnal （M2）, solar semidiumal （S2） and lunar diurnal （K1）. Other harmonic constituents, having frequencies higher than 1/hour, are *** last ones could be interpreted as seiches and they could be linked up with generation of discrete plumes of rising magma. Frequencies at which there is the occurrence of these seiches are in agreement with previous studies.
