Modelling accuracy limits for frequency-dependent anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility of rocks and soils

The frequency-dependent anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) can be most easily determined through subtracting directional susceptibilities measured at two operating frequencies along each of the measuring directions and the differences subsequently processed using standard methods for AMS computation. The effect of the measurement precision on the accuracy of the determination of the frequency-dependent AMS is investigated through mathematical simulation of the measurement process using the statistical theory of measuring the AMS of rocks. The accuracy of the AMS determination is presented in terms of the errors in determining the principal susceptibilities and principal directions. By modelling the measuring errors, the limits are discovered for the investigation of the frequency-dependent AMS. The modelling shows extremely high requirements for measurement accuracy met by the most sensitive instruments, only.     

基于姿态变化的航空频率域电磁法仪器偏置实时校正方法研究

磁偶极子的航空频率域电磁法仪器在飞行测量的过程中由于仪器偏置的存在,且仪器偏置会随着外部气压、温度等环境因素以及收发线圈晃动的影响而呈现非线性变化,使得观测数据出现误差,因此需要对仪器偏置进行校正.而传统的在测线飞行前后将仪器抬至高空的"零场值"标定方法具有成本高、受测区环境影响大以及采用线性插值获取测线飞行过程中仪器偏置的精度低等缺点.本文根据仪器偏置与仪器姿态角变化无关的特性,通过测得仪器的姿态角信息,在满足重叠偶极子模型的条件下,实现对仪器偏置的高精度实时校正.模型仿真结果表明,在30m常规飞行高度下,该方法实时测得的仪器偏置精度接近于110m高空测得的精度;校正后仪器偏置的绝对误差与理论二次场的比值即相对误差小于5%,满足反演大地电导率的精度要求.该方法不仅减少了飞行的工作量,降低了飞行成本和飞行难度,而且可更加精确地获得测线飞行过程中仪器偏置的非线性变化值,提高航测数据的观测精度.

FORWARD MODELLING FOR FREQUENCY DOMAIN MARINE ELECTROMAGNETIC SYSTEMS*

An algorithm for the accurate evaluation of rapidly oscillating integrals is described. The method is based on deformation of the integration path into the complex plane of the integration variable. Numerical integration is then carried out along appropriate cuts where the oscillating factor is transformed to the decaying factor. Contrary to standard methods, the proposed technique permits accurate evaluation of numerically divergent integrals. The algorithm is especially useful in forward modelling for high-frequency electromagnetic methods and, in particular, for the new marine electromagnetic system based on measuring signals on the sea bottom at high induction numbers. Results of calculations using both the proposed and standard methods are compared with available analytical solutions.     

MAGNÉTOMÈTRE DIFFÉRENTIEL À HAUTE SENSIBILITÉ*

The aim of this article is to describe the double resonance magnetometer system designed and built by the Division de Magnétométrie of the C.E.N. Grenoble, and used by the Département des Recherches Minières du CE.A. For the measurement of magnetic anomalies of geological origin it is necessary to make differential measurements between a mobile instrument which scans the region of interest and a fixed compensatory instrument. The apparatus described here features the following main characteristics: — it gives a direct numerical measurement of the differential magnetic field between the two instruments with an accuracy of 0.01 gamma (10^-7 Oe). — it is designed to be easily operated in geological field work (light weight, low power, possibility to make continuous measurements along a given profile, the measuring signals being radio-linked there are no wires connecting the instruments). Firstly we describe the components of the magnetometer itself namely: double resonance magnetometer heads and differential numerical magnetometer. Secondly we describe the measuring technique.

Low induction number, ground conductivity meters: A correction procedure in the absence of magnetic effects

Ground conductivity meters, comprising a variety of coil–coil configurations, are intended to operate within the limits provided by a low induction number (LIN), electromagnetic condition. They are now routinely used across a wide range of application areas and the measured apparent conductivity data may be spatially assembled and examined/correlated alongside information obtained from many other earth science, environmental, soil and land use assessments. The theoretical behaviour of the common systems is examined in relation to both the prevailing level of subsurface conductivity and the instrument elevation. It is demonstrated that, given the inherent high level of accuracy of modern instruments, the prevailing LIN condition may require operation in environments restricted to very low (< 12 mS/m) conductivities. Beyond this limit, non-linear departures from the apparent conductivity that would be associated with a LIN condition occur and are a function of the coil configuration, the instrument height and the prevailing conductivity. Using both theory and experimental data, it is demonstrated that this has the potential to provide biased and spatially distorted measurements. A simple correction procedure that can be applied to the measured data obtained from any of the LIN instruments is developed. The correction procedure would, in the limit of a uniform subsurface, return the same (correct) conductivity, irrespective of the ground conductivity meter used, the prevailing conductivity or the measurement height.

Solution of hardware and methodological problems and the study of electromagnetic emission in laboratory experiments on rock destruction

The results of hardware and methodological developments for recording of electromagnetic emission (EME) generated by rock samples under loading in laboratory experiments are presented. The results of experiments with the instruments developed are described. The facilities developed made it possible to measure reliably the electromagnetic emission under conditions of high background of electromagnetic noise and to reduce the level of reliably recorded signals as compared with previous experiments. The results of observation of the appearance of electromagnetic emission in the experiments with the rock samples under laboratory conditions showed a high correlation of the time instants of generation of the electromagnetic emission and the changes of its parameters with the changes in the reactive resistivity of the rock sample and seismoacoustic emission activity in the controlled area of the sample. It is revealed that electromagnetic emission occurs and reaches its maximum on the descending branch of the plot of polarizability during rock destruction.

Simple infrared techniques for measuring beach surface moisture

Knowledge of surface moisture on beaches is vital for aeolian process studies because moisture increases transport thresholds and limits mass flux. A number of beach surface moisture measurement techniques have been employed in the field, including sample extraction, commercial soil moisture sensors, and remote sensing techniques. Each method has significant limitations in the context of aeolian process studies. This study was designed to test infrared optic techniques for measuring beach surface moisture. A simple infrared sensor (narrow‐band radiometer) was developed to measure beach surface moisture content. The accuracy and practical usability of the narrow‐band radiometer were assessed in comparison to a commercial handheld spectroradiometer. Field calibrations conducted at Cape San Blas, Florida and Padre Island, Texas indicated that the narrow‐band radiometer performed quite well. The R² values exceeded 0·98 in each case, and the standard error averaged about 1% moisture content compared with gravimetric moisture contents determined from 1·5 mm deep surface scrapes. The performance of the two instruments was found to be comparable, with the narrow‐band radiometer slightly outperforming the spectroradiometer. In practical applications, the narrow‐band radiometer also has logistical advantages and is better suited to measure large numbers of points. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A digital surface roughness meter

Geomorphological studies often require precise devices to measure surface roughness or variations with high precision and good repeatability. A digital measurement device is described, which provides these features and can be linked to a small, light and portable recorder and processor. Such an arrangement allows rapid, accurate data recording by a single operator and can be used in the laboratory or field. With interchangeable measurement rods the vertical range of the instrument is 150 mm, with an actual measured range of 30 mm per rod. The potential accuracy is 0·001 mm with an operating temperature range of+5 to +40°C. Its light weight, relatively low cost and precision make it a useful measuring device which can be adapted for many tasks simply by modification of the stand.
