MAGNETIC ANOMALIES OF THIN SHEETS AND THEIR INTERPRETATIONS
A method of quantitative interpretation of the vertical magnetic anomaly (ΔZ) caused by a thin sheet infinite in horizontal extent but limited in depth extent is developed. The determination of the position of the point on the profile above the dike plays an important role in the analysis and is done either by a graphic method or with the help of a rapidly convergent iterative process. When the depth extent of the sheet, either vertical or inclined, becomes infinite, the mathematical steps become simpler, and evaluation of different unknown parameters of the causative body is possible without any prior knowledge of the positions of the cartesian axes. The proposed methods are applied both on theoretical models and on actual field cases.
