Controlled source audio-frequency magnetotelluric (CSAMT) is typically used to obtain data regarding Cagniard resistivity by calculating the ratio between the electric field and magnetic field. However, noise conditions tend to provide different influences on the electrical and magnetic field component data. Therefore, it has become necessary to develop alternative methods to define apparent resistivity using suitable component data. In addition to the traditional Cagniard resistivity, the conventional single-component and modified single-component apparent resistivity methods have been proposed. In this research we discuss those three different apparent resistivity definitions from the aspects of theoretical formula, applicability, and calculation results of a synthetic model. We find that the modified single-component apparent resistivity method can be successfully used to achieve higher data quality nearer the source, thereby improving the exploration precision. Finally, a case study is conducted to verify our results, which show that the modified apparent resistivity method has the ability to effectively reflect the geoelectric profiling information.

The Magnetic Field

Shallow inhomogeneities can lead to severe problems in the interpretation of magnetotelluric (MT) data by shifting the MT apparent resistivity sounding curve by a scale factor, which is independent of frequency on the standard log‐apparent‐resistivity versus log‐frequency display. The amount of parallel shift, commonly referred to as the MT static shift, can not be determined directly from conventionally recorded MT data at a single site. One method for measuring the static shift is a controlled‐source measurement of the magnetic field. Unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is relatively unaffected by surface inhomogeneities. The controlled‐source sounding (which may be a relatively shallow sounding made with lightweight equipment) can be combined with a deep MT sounding to obtain a complete, undistorted model of the earth. Inversions of the static shift‐corrected MT data provide a much closer match to well‐log resistivities than do inversions of the uncorrected data. The particular controlled‐source magnetic‐field sounding which we used was a central‐induction Transient ElectroMagnetic (TEM) sounding. Correction for the static shift in the MT data was made by jointly inverting the MT data and the TEM data. A parameter which allowed vertical shifts in the MT apparent resistivity curves was included in the computer inversion to account for static shifts. A simple graphical comparison between the MT apparent resistivities and the TEM apparent resistivities produced essentially the same estimate of the static shift (within 0.1 decade) as the joint computer inversion. Central‐induction TEM measurements were made adjacent to over 100 MT sites in central Oregon. The complete data base of over 100 sites showed an average static shift between 0 and 0.2 decade. However, in the rougher topography and more complex structure of the Cascade Mountain Range, the majority of the sites had static shifts of the order of 0.3 to 0.4 decade. The static shifts in this area are probably due to a combination of topography and surficial inhomogeneities. The TEM apparent resistivity (which is used to estimate the unshifted MT apparent resistivity) does not necessarily agree with either the transverse electric (TE) or the transverse magnetic (TM) MT polarization. TEM apparent resistivity may occur between the two, or may agree with one of the two polarizations, or may lie outside the MT polarizations.

Abstract. Conventional surface electromagnetic methods have limitations of a shallow detection depth and low resolution. To increase the detection depth and resolution, borehole–surface electromagnetic methods for electromagnetic three-dimensional observations of the ground, tunnels, and boreholes have been developed. Current borehole receivers only measure a single parameter of the magnetic field component, which does not meet the special requirements of controlled-source electromagnetic (CSEM) methods. This study proposes a borehole electromagnetic receiver that realizes synchronous acquisition of the vertical electric field component in the borehole and the three-axis orthogonal magnetic field components. This receiver uses Ti electrodes and fluxgate magnetometers (fluxgates) as sensors to acquire electric and magnetic field components. Multi-component comprehensive observation methods that add the electric field component can effectively support the CSEM method, improve detection accuracy, and exhibit a strong potential for detecting deep ore bodies. We conducted laboratory and field experiments to verify the performance of our new borehole electromagnetic receiver. The receiver achieved a magnetic field noise of less than 6 pTHz-1/2 at 1 kHz, and the electric field noise floor was approximately 20 nVm-1Hz-1/2 at 1 kHz. The −3 dB electric field bandwidth can reach DC −10 kHz. The results of our experiments prove that high-quality CSEM signals can be obtained using this new borehole electromagnetic receiver and that the electric field component exhibits sufficient advantages for measuring the vertical component of the electric field.

Anthropogenically-induced climate change is expected to be the contributing cause of sea level rise and severe storm events in the immediate future. While Danish authorities have downscaled the future oscillation of sea level rise across Danish coast lines in order to empower the coastal municipalities, there is a need to project the local cascading effects on different sectors. Using geospatial analysis and climate change projection data, we developed a proposed workflow to analyze the impacts of sea level rise in the coastal municipalities of Guldborgsund, located in Southeastern Denmark as a case study. With current estimates of sea level rise and storm surge events, the island of Falster can expect to have up to 19% of its landmass inundated, with approximately 39% of the population experiencing sea level rise directly. Developing an analytical workflow can allow stakeholders to understand the extent of expected sea level rise and consider alternative methods of prevention at the national and local levels. The proposed approach along with the choice of data and open source tools can empower other communities at risk of sea level rise to plan their adaptation.

Density Excess

On 14 January 2008, the MESSENGER spacecraft, during its first flyby around Mercury, recorded the magnetic field structure, which was later called the “double magnetopause”. The role of sodium ions penetrating into the Hermean magnetosphere from the magnetosheath in generation of this structure has been discussed since then. The violation of the symmetry of the plasma parameters at the magnetopause is the cause of the magnetizing current generation. Here, we consider whether the change in the density of sodium ions on both sides of the Hermean magnetopause could be the cause of a wide diamagnetic current in the magnetosphere at its dawn-side boundary observed during the first MESSENGER flyby. In the present paper, we propose an analytical approach that made it possible to determine the magnetosheath Na+ density excess providing the best agreement between the calculation results and the observed magnetic field in the double magnetopause.

Cross Variogram

We present and test a new method to correct for the static shift affecting magnetotelluric (MT) apparent resistivity sounding curves. We use geostatistical analysis of apparent resistivity and phase data for selected periods. For each period, we first estimate and model the experimental variograms and cross variogram between phase and apparent resistivity. We then use the geostatistical model to estimate, by cokriging, the corrected apparent resistivities using the measured phases and apparent resistivities. The static shift factor is obtained as the difference between the logarithm of the corrected and measured apparent resistivities. We retain as final static shift estimates the ones for the period displaying the best correlation with the estimates at all periods. We present a 3D synthetic case study showing that the static shift is retrieved quite precisely when the static shift factors are uniformly distributed around zero. If the static shift distribution has a nonzero mean, we obtained best results when an apparent resistivity data subset can be identified a priori as unaffected by static shift and cokriging is done using only this subset. The method has been successfully tested on the synthetic COPROD-2S2 2D MT data set and on a 3D-survey data set from Las Cañadas Caldera (Tenerife, Canary Islands) severely affected by static shift.

Resistivity Method

This paper describes a method whereby three resistances are measured for a four electrode configuration, and relations between these three resistances and their corresponding apparent resistivities are derived. The practical application of the resistance relation as a means of detecting observational and instrumental errors is indicated. The concept of apparent resistivity is examined and by means of examples it is shown that the apparent resistivity can take negative values. Finally, the possibility of using the triple resistivity method as a means of distinguishing between the effects of lateral and vertical resistivity changes on depth probes is discussed.
