The method is based on transforming the ionospheric-induced signals at a remote site to the local site using smoothly varying transfer functions. This assumes the remote site is relatively free of the non-ionospheric-induced signals. The transformed ionospheric-induced signal is then subtracted from the local time series. The method is tested on data recorded at Hollister and Parkfield that have been provided by F. Morrison. The sites are both near the San Andreas fault in California. Parkfield is used here as the remote site because it will be less contaminated by man-made sources since it is in a remote part of central California. The electric dipoles are approximately 100 m long with electrodes buried about 3 m deep and the magnetic sensors are three buried coils.","PeriodicalId":156587,"journal":{"name":"Journal of geomagnetism and geoelectricity","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126796673","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A terrain-related SP distribution of about -1 mV per meter of elevation was observed outside the caldera in all five surveys. Inside the caldera, SP increases from about -350 mV to near 0 mV (relative to the coastline) as the summit crater is approached, although negative anomalies of small spatial extent are manifest. Self-potential inside the caldera decreased by about 100 mV between the March 1989 and the March 1990 surveys, which appears to be correlated with a significant decline in the degassing rate from the summit crater. After 1990, the SP distribution is quite steady along the entire survey line which extends from the west coast through the southern part of the caldera, and ends east of Ura-sabaku. Recently a postprocessor has been developed to calculate space/time distributions of electrokinetic potentials resulting from histories of underground conditions (pressure, temperature, salt concentration, flowrate etc.) computed by multiphase multi-component unsteady geothermal reservoir simulations (Ishido and Pritchett, 1996). We applied this postprocessor to a simple two-dimensional model of hydrothermal activity in a volcanic island. The low potentials in areas of high elevation are reproduced in the model, and are caused by downflow of meteoric waters. The high potential centered at the summit crater is found to be produced by upflows of volcanic gas and vapor which diminish meteoric water downflow near the volcanic conduit.","PeriodicalId":156587,"journal":{"name":"Journal of geomagnetism and geoelectricity","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129284644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our previous publications we developed a novel approach to this problem, using EM migration. In this paper we demonstrate that there is a very close connection between the method of EM migration and the solution of the conventional EM inverse problem. Actually, we show that migration is an approximate inversion. It realizes the first iteration in the inversion algorithm, based on the minimization of the residual field energy flow through the profile of observations. This new theoretical result opens a way for formulating a new imaging condition. We compare this new imaging condition with the traditional one, obtained for simplified geoelectrical models of the subsurface structures. This result also leads to the construction of a solution of the inverse EM problem, based on iterative EM migration in the frequency domain, and gradient (or conjugate gradient) search for the optimal geoelectrical model. However, the authors have found that in the framework of this method, even the first iteration, based on the migration of the residual field, generates a reasonable geoelectrical image of the subsurface structure.","PeriodicalId":156587,"journal":{"name":"Journal of geomagnetism and geoelectricity","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116487529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Smooth two-dimensional models of the data acquired along the three transects were obtained using the Generalized Rapid Relaxation Inversion algorithm. Modeling suggest that the area can be reasonably treated as two-dimensional with the structural direction being north-south in agreement with the strikes of geological units. The three 2-D models correlate well with the regional geological morphology in the central part of the Tohoku district which is divided by three high altitude regions. The resistivity profiles indicate two clear conductive anomalies in the Central Basin Range and in the Kitakami, Abukuma river regions that show considerable variability in each of the three 2-D models. Boundaries of conductive bodies correlate well with mapped faults, including those of pre-Tertiary age. The northernmost cross section is more complex possibly because of the presence of Quaternary volcanoes and an active geothermal source area in the vicinity.","PeriodicalId":156587,"journal":{"name":"Journal of geomagnetism and geoelectricity","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127425658","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we present a new approach for the solution of overparameterized cases based on regularization theory and full 2-D, quasi-analytic, calculation of the Frechet derivatives. For the forward solution we use a fast and efficient finite difference formulation to the solution of the MT equations in both transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes based on the balance method. The Frechet derivative matrix is obtained as a solution to simple forward and back substitution of the LU decomposed matrix of coefficients from the forward problem utilizing the principle of reciprocity. Magnetotelluric data is usually contaminated by noise, so that its inverse problem is ill-posed. In order to constrain the solution to a set of acceptable models, Tikhonov regularization is applied and yields a regularized parametric functional. The regularized conjugate gradient method is then utilized to minimize the parametric functional. Results of inversion for a set of synthetic data and for a set of CSAMT data from Kennecott Exploration show that the method yields models which are physically and geologically reasonable for both synthetic and real data sets.","PeriodicalId":156587,"journal":{"name":"Journal of geomagnetism and geoelectricity","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114300813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to a widely discussed steady-state phase, electromagnetic signals of electrokinetic origin have a transient phase which corresponds to their propagation through a conductive crust. The duration of the transient phase depends on a distance from there pressure gradient source and on the crustal conductivity. For characteristic conductivities of 0.1-10-3 S/m and distances of several kilometers the transient phase lasts for 10-100 sec. Although in the layered model both transient and steady state external magnetic fields are zero, this is not so in the general case.

In this paper we investigate three-dimensional galvanic distortions on the three transects using the Groom-Bailey tensor decomposition technique. We have focused on the regional strike direction and are not considering static shifts in the data. The decomposition method worked well at most sites but failed at some sites suggesting considerable regional three-dimensionality there. We found that the north-northwest to south-southeast direction is the predominant regional strike. This direction coincides with the regional geological strike being nearly perpendicular to the subduction direction of the Pacific plate. The induction vectors are generally in agreement with the regional strike direction deduced by the decomposition method on the southernmost line, but they deviate systematically on northernmost and middle lines suggesting conductivity contrasts in these areas.","PeriodicalId":156587,"journal":{"name":"Journal of geomagnetism and geoelectricity","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133648754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
