Abstract

Current density pseudosections derived by filtering and probability tomography from calculated VLF vertical magnetic profiles over synthetic 2D targets with geometrical shape are examined critically. It was found that the position and shape of target only in the case of single inhomogeneities with very limited cross-sectional area and simple shape can be revealed reliably by them. The locations of sharp cross-sectional boundaries can only be guessed. Fictitious, misleading current-density indications occur in the case of laterally extended, or multiple targets at too wide filter windows. Both procedures suppose that the measured values originate in the superposition of the magnetic fields of individual stationary current-lines inside the target. It is shown that in the quasistationary range the shape and position of the target can be outlined sharply using this simplified form of the forward problem solution and performing an inversion with respect of the vertices of the polygon approximating the cross-s...
