Abstract

Magnetic survey flights by helicopters are usually parallel to the topographic surface, with a nominal clearance, but especially in high-resolution surveys the altitudes at which observations are made may be too variable to be regarded as a smooth surface. We have developed a reduction procedure for such data using the method of equivalent sources, where surrounding sources are included to control edge effects, and data from points distributed randomly in three dimensions are directly modelled. Although the problem is generally underdetermined, the method of conjugate gradients can be used to find a minimum-norm solution. There is freedom to select the harmonic function that relates the magnetic anomaly with the source. When the upward continuation function operator is selected, the equivalent source is the magnetic anomaly itself. If we select as source a distribution of magnetic dipoles in the direction of the ambient magnetic field, we can easily derive reduction-to-pole anomalies by rotating the direction of the magnetic dipoles to vertical.

헬리콥터를 이용한 항공자력탐사는 정해진 고도를 따라 지표면에 평행하게 이루어지지만, 고해상도 탐사에서는 특히 측정이 이루어지는 고도가 너무 변화하여 평탄면으로 간주할 수 없는 경우가 있다. 이 연구에서는 모서리 효과를 조절할 수 있도록 주변 자력원이 포함되는 등가원 방법을 이용하여 이러한 자료를 변환하는 방법을 개발하였고, 3차원적으로 무작위하게 분포하는 점의 자료를 직접적으로 모델화하였다. 이 문제는 일반적으로 under-determined 이지만 CG 법은 최소 norm 해를 찾을 수 있으며, 자력이상을 자력원과 연관시키는 조화함수를 선택할 자유가 있는데, 상향연속 함수 연산자가 선택되면 등가원 자체가 자력이상이 된다. 기본자기장의 방향으로의 자기 쌍극자분포를 자력원으로 선택하면, 자기 쌍극자의 방향을 수직으로 돌려줌으로써 쉽게 자극화 변환 이상을 유도할 수 있다.
