OK now it is fully clear to me.

I don't know the accelerometer layout of Huygens, but spacecraft that measure perturbations due to the earth's irregularities often have 2 accelerometers per direction, one at each corener of the craft.

The difference in acceleration is casued by the perturbation, the common value by surface forces.
