Abstract:
Magnetic data is difficult to interpret due to the bipolar nature of the field and the fact that the amplitude and phase of the response varies depending on the inclination of the Earth’s field and the dip of magnetic bodies. The reduction to the pole transform gives a less complicated anomaly independent of many of these issues. However, this transformation can be problematic to compute and assumes no remanent magnetization. If there is remanence, then the resulting field can be just as difficult to interpret, in fact more so, as the direction of the remanence has to be taken into account.
