| Abstract: | Data quality assessments have been made on time-domain induced polarization decay curves taken over sulphide ore bodies of Cyprus. The data were taken with the dipole-dipole, pole-dipole and symmetrical quadripole arrays. The results indicate that at larger array separations decay curves taken with the dipole-dipole and pole-dipole arrays are often seriously affected by noise, but that curves taken with the symmetrical quadripole array are not so affected. Optimum pseudo-sections designed to minimize the noise show that the noise results in spurious highs and lows. This work was carried out as part of a NERC research studentship at the University of Leicester. |
