Abstract: | A new method is proposed to interpret magnetic anomalies due to a thin dike, a sphere, and a fault like structure, where depth, horizontal location, effective magnetization intensity and effective magnetization inclination of a buried structure are simultaneously obtained. The proposed method is based on Fair function minimization and also on stochastic optimization modeling. This new technique was firstly tested on a theoretical synthetic data randomly generated by a chosen statistical distribution from a known model with different random noises components. This mathematical simulation shows a very close agreement between the assumed and the estimated parameters. The applicability and validity of this method are thereafter applied to magnetic anomaly data taken from United States, Australia, India, and Brazil. The agreement between the results obtained by the new method and those obtained by other interpretative methods is good and comparable. Moreover, the depth obtained by such a method is found to be in high accordance with that obtained from drilling information. |
