The variations of geoelectrical potential differences in Hakuba area, Nagano Prefecture, Japan have<br />

been investigated. The noises originated from the DC-driven trains were found to contaminate into the<br />

natural geoelectrical potential data. The most intense influence of trains occurred when the train was<br />

running nearby measuring dipoles. The gradient of the potential was deflected towards the railways<br />

and/or the position of the train, exhibiting a certain correlation between the power supply data at<br />

substation data and the geoelectrical potential data at measuring site. Extracting the high correlation<br />

part (r > 0.7), idealized train noise can be computed by the least square method. The reduction of train<br />

noise by more than 60 % was achieved by subtracting the idealized noise from observed data.<br />

Keywords: geoelectrical potential diff, noise reduction, dc driven train
