The method involves gravity signals which occur earlier than seismic waves.
When the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites began measuring gravity signals around the world in 2002, scientists knew they would have to separate mass flow beneath the earth's crust from changes in the mass of the overlying ice sheet.

Juno detected a gravity signal strong enough to indicate that material in the bands is flowing as far down as 3,000 kilometers.
«In addition, the gravity signature of the jets is entangled with the gravity signal of the interior (e.g., Jupiter's core).
These measurements provide clues to the structure of Jupiter's interior and how the gravity field varies with depth: the bigger the gravity signal, the stronger the flow of gas deep within Jupiter.
This is a particular concern near Greenland, the Amundsen Sea sector of the West Antarctic Icesheet, and Alaska, where large trends in the ice masses lead to large trends in the gravity signal.
