Grandient measurements in the interpretation of magnetic anomalies due to two-dimensional prism-shaped bodies

pure and applied geophysics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A direct method of interpreting magnetic anomalies due to two-dimensional prisms is presented here. Measurement of the first vertical derivative supplies additional information concerning the parameters. The normal ground magnetic profile, as well as the gradient profile will have symmetrical points whose distances from the origin are related to the width, depth and height of a two dimensional prism shaped body.
