Characteristics of 2D- and 3D-potential field anomaly interpretation

Article preview

This paper contains methods of gravity and magnetic data processing with evaluation of effective density and magnetic intensity of rocks. The most preferred method of 3D-processing so as to create three dimensional models of gravity and magnetic distribution is that one which count gravity and magnetic fields around a circle near the calculation point. It is highly effectively to use this method if there are some isometric objects. This algorithm leads to a geometry distortion of the resulting objects and a marked increase in predicted depth if examined bodies are twodimensional and overlie horizontal or aslope. This might cause errors in data interpretation.
