Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

SUMMARY Airborne magnetotelluric (AirMT) systems generate transfer function data from magnetic fields measured in the air and either electric or magnetic fields measured at a base station. AirMT anomalies are fundamentally controlled by the anomalous magnetic fields within the survey region. While AirMT data acquired using a magnetic field base station are not directly sensitive to the conductivity at the base station, AirMT data acquired using an electric field base station are scaled by the inverse square root of the conductivity at the base station. The transfer function data collected by various AirMT systems have different sensitivity functions. Consequently, the inversion of AirMT data for different acquisition systems may not recover the same conductivity model for the same set of inversion parameters. In this paper, we aim to characterize the fundamental similarities and differences between AirMT inversion for data collected using a magnetic field base station, and for data collected using an electric field base station. We adopt an unconstrained, smoothest model inversion approach to characterize the structures that are naturally recovered by inverting AirMT data when the base station is far away and located on the surface of a homogeneous quarter-space. Our work shows that when a-priori knowledge of the host conductivity within the survey region is available, AirMT inversion effectively recovers conductive and resistive structures within the survey region, regardless of whether the data are collected using an electric or magnetic base station. We show that a single ground magnetotelluric station might provide enough information about the host conductivity to construct a suitable starting model for AirMT inversion, and we discuss the impact of jointly inverting AirMT data and ground magnetotelluric data for a single station.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
