Calculating depths to shallow magnetic sources using aeromagnetic data from the Tucson Basin
Daniel W. Casto
2001, Open-File Report 2001-505
Using gridded high-resolution aeromagnetic data, the performance of several automated 3-D depth-to-source methods was evaluated over shallow control sources based on how close their depth estimates came to the actual depths to the tops of the sources. For all three control sources, only the simple analytic signal method, the local...
