Dear Harry,
at this time, we have not issued any noise estimates of our system but we are
preparing a variety of material for realease over the next few weeks. I would rather
not be giving out previews yet, so stay posted!
cheers
Mark

Dear Mark:
What would you state as the noise level of your gradiometer, in terms of
SD of the mean, averaged over a particular time interval, with aircraft
tubulence envelope of a particular number of g's?
