A gradient method for interpreting magnetic anomalies due to horizontal circular cylinders,infinite dykes and vertical steps

A new method of interpreting magnetic anomalies of arbitrarily-magnetised horizontal circular cylinders, dipping dykes and vertical steps is presented. The method makes use of both horizontal and vertical gradients of the magnetic field of the model under consideration, rather than the observed magnetic anomaly. Vertical and horizontal gradients are calculated from the observed anomalies, and plotted one against the other to find out the locus of tip of the resultant gradient vector. This locus is a symmetrical curve for each of the three models mentioned above. The properties of these curves are used to deduce the various parameters of these models and the direction of magnetisation.     

地磁异常数据处理技术在低纬度地区的应用研究——以柬埔寨王国Mesam金矿为例北大核心CSCD

柬埔寨王国位于低纬度地区,地质勘查程度较低,地面高精度磁测技术能够快速获取磁异常信息,进行找矿评价。在低纬度地区磁化方向主要以水平磁化为主,磁性体产生的磁异常以负磁异常为主。本文通过对柬埔寨王国Mesam金矿磁测数据进行倒相180°、化赤和低纬度化极处理对比,认为三种处理方法得到的结果都能够完整地反映磁场分布特点,在不能忽略剩磁影响的低纬度地区对实测数据进行低纬度化极后再进行解释更加贴近真实且细节更加丰富。通过对低纬度化极后的磁异常进行水平总梯度模和小波多尺度分解计算等位场异常处理,认为磁异常水平总梯度模计算能够较好地反映深部地质体的边界范围,小波多尺度分解计算能够提取特定深度地质体的空间信息,在该区选取的磁异常处理技术是有效的,为进一步扩大该金矿区远景储量提供了新的思路。     

Modeling and Interpreting CHAMP Magnetic Anomaly Field over China Continent Using Spherical Cap Harmonic Analysis

Based on the CHAMP Magsat data set, spherical cap harmonic analysis was used to model the magnetic fields over China continent. The data set used in the analysis includes the 15′×15′ gridded values of the CHAMP anomaly fields (latitude φ=25°N to 50°N and longitude λ=78°E to 135°E). The pole of the cap is located at φ=35°N and λ=110°E with half-angle of 30°. The maximum index (Kmax) of the model is 30 and the total number of model coefficients is 961, which corresponds to the minimum wavelength at the earth's surface about 400 km. The root mean square (RMS) deviations between the calculated and observed values are ～ 4 nT for ΔX, ～ 3 nT for ΔY and ～ 3.5 nT for ΔZ, respectively. Results show that positive anomalies are found mainly at the Tarim basin with ～6- 8 nT, the Yangtze platform and North China platform with ～4 nT, and the Songliao basin with ～4-6 nT. In contrast, negative anomaly is mainly located in the Tibet orogenic belt with the amplitude ～ (-6)-(-8) nT. Upward continuation of magnetic anomalies was used to semi-quantitatively separate the magnetic anomalies in different depths of crust. The magnetic anomalies at the earth's surface are from -6 to 10 nT for upper crust, middle crust -27 to 42 nT and lower crust -12 to 18 nT, respectively. The strikes of the magnetic anomalies for the upper crust are consistent with those for the middle crust, but not for the lower crust. The high positive magnetic anomalies mainly result from the old continental nucleus and diastrophic block (e.g. middle Sichuan continental nucleus, middle Tarim basin continental nucleus, Junggar diastrophic block and Qaidam diastrophic block). The amplitudes of the magnetic anomalies of the old continental nucleus and diastrophic block are related to evolution of deep crust. These results improve our understanding of the crustal structure over China continent.

徐宿弧(安徽段北部)弱磁异常特征及其认识

查明徐宿弧(安徽段北部)隐伏岩体的赋存状况,圈定岩体与围岩的接触部位及找矿靶区并推测赋矿部位,是实施徐宿弧(安徽段)金多金属矿成矿背景调查的主要任务。徐宿弧(安徽段北部)为弱磁异常区,实测磁异常形态凌乱且难以识别。首先通过化极、滑动平均、匹配滤波、垂向一阶导数及向上延拓等方法进行多方法多参数变换数据处理,从弱磁异常中提取形态规则、易于识别的低缓异常; 然后对处理结果进行甄别对比,筛选出异常形态特征有利于地质解释的磁异常图,即: 低缓磁异常为叠加异常,总体呈NW方向延伸,覆盖面积较大,次级异常呈NNW-NE方向西凸的弧形延伸至前欧盘。同时,依据徐宿弧(安徽段北部)的地质背景及岩(矿)石磁性参数特征,通过对比分析实测磁异常与前欧盘闪长玢岩引起的磁异常特征,推测引起低缓异常的磁性地质体为隐伏中酸性复式岩体。该研究为徐宿弧(安徽段)金多金属矿成矿背景调查的综合解释及圈定找矿靶区提供了参考。

New methods are presented for processing and interpretation of shallow marine differential magnetic data,including constructing maps of offshore total magnetic anomalies with an extremely high resolution of up to 1-2 nT,mapping weak anomalies of 5-10 nT caused by mineralization effects at the contacts of hydrocarbons with host rocks,estimating depths to upper and lower boundaries of anomalous magnetic sources,and estimating thickness of magnetic layers and boundaries of tectonic blocks. Horizontal dimensions of tectonic blocks in the so-called "seismic gap" region in the central Kuril Arc vary from 10 to 100 km,with typical dimensions of 25-30 km.The area of the "seismic gap" is a zone of intense tectonic activity and recent volcanism.Deep sources causing magnetic anomalies in the area are similar to the "magnetic belt" near Hokkaido. In the southern and central parts of Barents Sea,tectonic blocks with widths of 30-100 km,and upper and lower boundaries of magnetic layers ranging from depths of 10 to 5 km and 18 to 30 km are calculated.Models of the magnetic layer underlying the Mezen Basin in an inland part of the White Sea-Barents Sea paleorift indicate depths to the lower boundary of the layer of 12-30 km.Weak local magnetic anomalies of 2-5 nT in the northern and central Caspian Sea were identified using the new methods,and drilling confirms that the anomalies are related to concentrations of hydrocarbon.Two layers causing magnetic anomalies are identified in the northern Caspian Sea from magnetic anomaly spectra.The upper layer lies immediately beneath the sea bottom and the lower layer occurs at depths between 30-40 m and 150-200 m.     

On the quantitative interpretation of magnetic anomalies by pseudo-gravimetric integration.

Poisson's theorem relates linearly the derivative of the gravity potential (taken along the total magnetization vector direction) and the magnetic potential due to a common, isolated source with constant density and magnetization distributions.
From that theorem, two very useful functional transformations for magnetic anomalies were formulated by Baranov, that is the 'pseudo-gravimetric integration' and the 'reduction to the pole'.
In this paper, it is shown that the first transformation is, in some sense, more useful than the reduction to the pole and, further, that its utilization presents noticeable advantages as regards the interpretation of magnetic anomalies. In fact, the pseudo-gravimetric integration, in contrast to the reduction to the pole, also provides a smoothing of the anomaly map and, in particular, reduces the degree of non-linearity existing in the mathematical relationship between the data and the source depth.
In order to show this last property of the transformation, spectral expansion inversions by 2_1/2D structures were performed on both magnetic and pseudo-gravimetric synthetic anomalies and the respective speed and precision were compared. The tests clearly indicate that very accurate estimates of the geometric parameters of the known source can be more easily and rapidly calculated by the transformed anomalies. Furthermore, due to its smoothing property, the method seems particularly useful when data are noisy. Tests on real anomalies confirm these results.     

菲律宾海岩石圈磁异常特征

利用NGDC720地磁模型提供的磁异常数据, 分析了菲律宾海板块磁异常特征, 进而对磁异常进行多尺度分解, 给出了研究区岩石圈深部和浅部磁异常.结合热流分布特点和磁异常信息, 进一步分析了研究区引起磁异常成因.菲律宾海板块区域的磁异常既反映了该区域岩石圈浅部的构造特征, 也隐含深部构造信息.在西菲律宾海盆以及大东脊构造区, 浅部构造磁异常信息较好地继承了深部构造特征, 反映这些区域岩石圈的整体性特征.四国海盆与帕里西维拉海盆浅部磁异常信息显示了与近代(约10Ma)扩张轴一致的特征, 且磁异常与海底构造走向不一致; 而深部异常显示的帕里西维拉海盆磁异常走向与西菲律宾海盆一致的信息, 可能指示帕里西维拉海盆岩石圈曾与西菲律宾海盆有过类似的演化史.

Lithospheric magnetic anomalies in the territory of Siberia (from measurements by the CHAMP satellite)

The position of lithospheric magnetic anomalies, detected in total magnetic intensity and the vertical component of the magnetic field, has been determined for Siberia using data from the CHAMP satellite. The paper describes the technique for the satellite data processing and the ways of recognition of regional lithospheric magnetic anomalies from satellite-measured values of the total geomagnetic field, which are obtained from several sources (external and internal with respect to the Earth’s surface). Maps of magnetic-field anomalies of different scales have been constructed for several regions of Siberia depending on the method of areal averaging. The possible geologic and physical nature of the magnetic anomalies and their relationship with deep-seated crustal structures are considered. Preliminary interpretation of the magnetic-field maps shows that the anomalies are connected with the present-day large geologic and geophysical elements of the basement. The features of the lithospheric magnetic field, as a parameter reflecting the present position of tectonic structures and their physical properties, can be used for their contouring in combination with other geological and geophysical methods.

位场反演计算的场比值法及在宽城地区磁异常解释中的应用

在磁异常的反演计算中, 为了避免由于选错了磁性体的形状而产生很大的误差, 前人已研究了多种所谓自动反演的计算方法。与传统的方法不同, 用这些方法, 可以同时确定磁性体的几何形状和埋藏深度等参数。但是前人研究的方法需要计算磁异常的三阶导数, 因此所受高频噪声干扰十分严重, 以至于影响到计算结果的可靠性。因此很难用到实际资料处理中。 本文提出的场比值法可以同时确定磁性体的形状和埋藏深度。场比值法通过场比值field-ratio来确定磁性体的形状, field-ratio的物理含义与Euler反褶积公式中的形状因子类似。场比值法的优点是在反演计算中只需要计算磁异常的一、二阶导数, 因此比前人的方法受高频随机干扰小, 可以用于实际资料的处理中。模型实验证明了场比值法的正确性, 在河北省宽城地区用场比值法对磁异常反演计算, 展示了方法的实用性。 关键词: 磁异常; 自动反演; 磁性体形状的判别     

Ground magnetic survey of a municipal solid waste landfill: pilot study in Argentina

This paper shows the results of a ground magnetic survey carried out to study solid waste landfills. The area located southward of Gualeguaychú town was chosen as a pilot case. This zone was selected considering the available knowledge about the cessation of operations, and the interest of the local authorities in verifying the existence of anomalies indicative of possible dangerous pollutants. The total magnetic field was measured along six profiles, and the corresponding anomalies were calculated. The profiles were modelled in 2.5 D, and along them Eulers deconvolution was used to estimate the depth to the sources. The first and the second derivatives of the residual magnetic field were calculated, in order to sharpen the anomalies. Our interpretation suggests that the characteristics of the modelled bodies and the magnitudes of the detected anomalies do not indicate the presence of drums in the sanitary infill.     

Aeromagnetic study of buried basement structures and lineaments of Sahel region (Eastern Tunisia,North Africa)

This study presents original results regarding the use of aeromagnetic to explore deep subsurface structuring in southern part of Tunisian Sahel petroleum province (Eastern Tunisia, North Africa). Several filters and techniques were applied to the total magnetic intensity (TMI) grid. First, an adequate reduce to the pole (RTP) grid was generated. The RTP map shows 17 positive and negative anomalies associated with short- and long-wavelength amplitude anomalies. Positive anomalies correspond to high magnetic basement structures estimated from seismic lines in the area. Circular anomalies are also distinguished locally and can be explained by Cretaceous magmatic rocks recognized in numerous petroleum wells. Second, specific qualitative and quantitative filters (e.g., residual-regional separation, horizontal tilt angle (TDX), tilt angle (TILT), total horizontal derivative of tilt angle (THDTILT)) were applied to elucidate the form and the extent of buried magnetic anomalies and lineaments. The resulting deep structural map revealed the presence of NW-SE, N-S, and E-W regional magnetic basement structures and lineaments and a regional tectonic node surrounding Henchir Keskes-Agareb-Mahres-Hachichina area. Two magnetic inversion models calculated across the study area highlight west to east crustal thinning trend and permit depth to basement estimation. These results are valuable for future conventional and unconventional petroleum exploration in this underexplored southern part of Sahel plain.     

Potential field modelling of the Baltica–Avalonia (Thor–Tornquist) suture beneath the southern North Sea

Magnetic anomaly maps of the Trans-European Suture Zone (TESZ) highlight the contrast between the highly magnetic crust of Baltica and the less magnetic terranes to the SW of the suture. Although the TESZ is imaged on gravity maps, anomalies related to postcollisional rifting and reactivated rift structures tend to dominate.

Seismic and potential field data have been used to construct 2 -D crustal models along three profiles crossing the Baltica–Avalonia suture in the southern North Sea (SNS). The first of these models lies along a transect assembled from reflection line GECO SNST 83-07 and refraction profile EUGENO-S 2; the other two models are coincident with MONA LISA profiles 1 and 2. Additional structural information and density information for the cover sequence is available from released wells, while magnetic susceptibility values are compatible with values measured from borehole core samples.

Magnetic anomalies related to the suture are interpreted as due to magnetic Baltican basement of the Ringkøbing-Fyn High dipping SW beneath nonmagnetic Avalonian basement underlying the western part of the SNS. Low-amplitude, long-wavelength magnetic anomalies occurring outboard of the suture are interpreted as due to a mid-crustal magnetic body, possibly a buried magmatic complex. This might represent the ‘missing’ arc related to inferred southward subduction of the Tornquist Sea, or an exotic element emplaced during the collision between Avalonia and Baltica. The present model supports an imbricated structure within Baltica as indicated by the latest reprocessing of the MONA LISA seismic data.     

Magnetic anomalies over thin plates and their analysis

The magnetic anomaly over a two-dimensional thin horizontal plate is similar to the first horizontal derivative of the magnetic anomaly over a thick dipping dike of infinite depth extent but with a different direction of magnetization. Hence, the magnetic anomalies of thin plates may be integrated along the profile and the pseudomagnetic potential anomaly thus obtained may be interpreted using any standard method of interpreting dike anomalies. Expressions for the Fourier amplitude and phase spectra of the magnetic anomaly over a thin plate are also derived and procedures to evaluate the parameters of the plate from the spectra are formulated.
