Effect of inclined conductivity anisotropy on frequency induction and TEM data

摘要

The harmonic electromagnetic field of a vertical magnetic dipole above an anisotropic half-space has been simulated using a forward algorithm for layered conductive media with inclined anisotropy. Inclined anisotropy has been found out to change the typical behavior of frequency and transient responses. Qualitative interpretation of FD loop-loop responses of a conducting earth with inclined anisotropy requires taking into account the receiver azimuth dependence of apparent resistivities. In the case of time-domain measurements, this dependence is absent but the apparent resistivities are higher at late times.
