Abstract
The detection accuracy of the grounded-wire transient electromagnetic method is affected by the incorrect geoelectric structure and burial depth due to shadow and source overprint effects. To better understand these effects, the three conditions under which these effects are present are analyzed separately. First, the analytical expressions are derived for computing the response of the formative wave and the surface wave in homogenous earth. The effects of the formative wave at the anomaly’s location and at the receiving site are analyzed. Then, the response variation due to the presence of an anomaly between the transmitter and the receiver is quantitatively analyzed using the finite-difference method. Finally, the effects of shadow and source overprint on the data inversion are investigated, which is verified by a case study. The wrong geoelectric information is caused by the shadow and source overprint effects. To avoid this, multisource observation can be used to weaken and utilize the shadow and source overprint effects.
