INTERPRÉTATION DIRECTE DES COURBES DE SONDAGE ÉLECTRIQUE ET LE PROBLÈME DE DIFFÉRENTS DISPOSITIFS DE MESURE *

Direct interpretation methods of resistivity curves are discussed, which use the kernel function of the apparent resistivity. This function results from the consideration of the problem of diverse electrodes configurations. Several expressions for the determination of the kernel function of the potential from the kernel function of the apparent resistivity are given.     

CALCUL DES COURBES DE,SONDAGES ÉLECTRIQUES À L'AIDE DES FONCTIONS D'ÉCHANTILLONNAGE*

Recently I had an opportunity to apply the theory of sampling functions to the functional transformations of gravity and magnetic anomalies (Baranov 1975). It would be interesting to examine if there is a possibility to use these functions in the electrical prospecting. It seems that the answer might be affirmative. This paper is an attempt to compute the master curves for the electrical vertical sounding with the aid of sampling functions.     

ESSAI D'UNE APPLICATION DE LA TRANSFORMATION DE KARHUNEN-LOÈVE AU TRAITEMENT SISMIQUE *

Multispectral recordings used for remote sensing are not without analogy with seismic records from CDP field set-ups. These seismic data may be regarded as “photographs’ of deep regions of the earth taken from various angles. The Karhunen-Loève (K.L.) transformation is commonly used for multispectral data processing, where it helps emphasize some features of remote sensing information. The same method may be applied to seismic data processing. Signal-to-noise ratio is improved on synthetic or field examples when K.L. transformation is applied instead of conventional CDP stacking. Residual statics seem to be diminished by a significant factor.     

ONDE AMORTIE DE TYPE RAYLEIGH À L'INTERFACE DE DEUX MILIEUX SOLIDES À FORT CONTRAST DE DENSITÉS ET DE VITESSES*

Damped Rayleigh-type waves at the interface of two solid media with strong density and wave velocity contrast have been studied theoretically and experimentally with a two-dimensional model; plexiglas and brass were used as model materials.     

QUELQUES CONSIDÉRATIONS SUR LA DIGITALISATION DES SIGNAUX MAGNÉTOTELLURIQUES — DESCRIPTION D'UN ÉQUIPEMENT*

A magnetotelluric digital equipment has been designed and built for operation in geophysical and applied geophysical research. The five components of the natural electromagnetic field can be digitized in the frequency range 1/1000 Hz (magnetic sensor's response limits) to some tens Hz. The magnetotelluric (MT) data are directly digitized in the field and stored in a cassette tape recorder.
