Abstract

The calculation of absolute effective depth for any finite, realizable array can be based on the total array length L or on any other spacing factor desired. The burden of the discussion by Roy and Apparao is that the distance a between the active electrodes is the natural spacing factor for the 2‐pole array. I agree entirely with this, as evidenced by my statement that “the absolute effective depth is almost directly proportional to a”, and by my inclusion of [Formula: see text] coefficients in the first column of Table 2. I would consider the factors of this column to be the natural units for depth calculations for all arrays (except for the Schlumberger and gradient arrays, where L or the conventional L/2 is more suitable).
