<p>A phaseless Gauss-Newton inversion (GNI) algorithm is developed for microwave imaging applications. In contrast to full-data microwave imaging inversion that uses complex (magnitude and phase) scattered field data, the proposed phaseless GNI algorithm inverts phaseless (magnitude-only) total field data. This phaseless Gauss-Newton inversion (PGNI) algorithm is augmented with three different forms of regularization, originally developed for complex GNI. First, we use the standard weighted L2 norm total variation multiplicative regularizer which is appropriate when there is no prior information about the object being imaged. We then use two other forms of regularization operators to incorporate prior information about the object being imaged into the PGNI algorithm. The first one, herein referred to as SL-PGNI, incorporates prior information about the expected relative complex permittivity values of the object of interest. The other, referred to as SP-PGNI, incorporates spatial priors (structural information) about the objects being imaged. The use of prior information aims to compensate for the lack of total field phase data. The PGNI, SL-PGNI, and SP-PGNI inversion algorithms are then tested against synthetic and experimental phaseless total field data.</p>

The vertical gradient of a one‐dimensional magnetic field is known to be a useful aid in interpretation of magnetic data. When the vertical gradient is required but has not been measured, it is necessary to approximate the gradient using the available total‐field data. An approximation is possible because a relationship between the total field and the vertical gradient can be established using Fourier analysis. After reviewing the theoretical basis of this relationship, a number of methods for approximating the vertical gradient are derived. These methods fall into two broad categories: methods based on the discrete Fourier transform, and methods based on discrete convolution filters. There are a number of choices necessary in designing such methods, each of which will affect the accuracy of the computed values in differing, and sometimes conflicting, ways. A comparison of the spatial and spectral accuracy of the methods derived here shows that it is possible to construct a filter which maintains a reasonable balance between the various components of the total error. Further, the structure of this filter is such that it is also computationally more efficient than methods based on fast Fourier transform techniques. The spacing and width of the convolution filter are identified as the principal factors which influence the accuracy and efficiency of the method presented here, and recommendations are made on suitable choices for these parameters.

Three-dimensional inversion plays an important role in the quantitative interpretation of magnetic data in exploration problems, and magnetic amplitude data can be an effective tool in cases in which remanently magnetized materials are present. Because amplitude data are typically calculated from total-field anomaly data, the error levels must be characterized for inversions. Lack of knowledge of the error in amplitude data hinders the ability to properly estimate the data misfit associated with an inverse model and, therefore, the selection of the appropriate regularization parameter for a final model. To overcome these challenges, we have investigated the propagation of errors from total-field anomaly to amplitude data. Using parametric bootstrapping, we find that the standard deviation of the noise in amplitude data is approximately equal to that of the noise in total-field anomaly data when the amplitude data are derived from the conversion of total-field data to three orthogonal components. We then illustrate how the equivalent source method can be used to estimate the error in total-field anomaly data when needed. The obtained noise estimate can be applied to amplitude inversion to recover an optimal inverse model by applying the discrepancy principle. We test this method on synthetic and field data and determine its effectiveness.

Metode Very Low Frequency Electromagnetic (VLF-EM) merupakan metode geofisika yang cepat, ramah lingkungan dan metode elektromagnetik pasif yang bekerja pada pita frekuensi 15-30 kHz. Metode ini digunakan untuk mengkarakteristik bawah permukaan dan menentukan sebaran dolomit di daerah kapur Desa Melirang Kecamatan Bungah Kabupaten Gresik. Pengambilan data dilakukan pada enam lintasan dengan panjang 550 m dan spasi setiap lintasan sebesar 5 m. Hasil akuisisi data VLF-EM berupa nilai inphase, quadrature, tilt-angle, dan total field. Data tersebut diolah dengan filter NA-MEMD dan diinterpretasikan secara kualitatif dan kuantitatif. Analisa kualitatif menggunakan filter fraser dan karous-Hjelt untuk menentukan bentuk, jalur, dan kedalaman dolomit dengan tepat (nilai resistivitas 100-104 Ωm), sedangkan analisa kuantitatif dihasilkan nilai resistivitas 2-D dari hasil inversi data tripper (inphase dan quadrature) dengan software Inv2DVLF. Analisa kuantitatif menghasilkan kedalaman dolomit antara 0 – 30 m dan 50 – 70 m dengan nilai resitivitas antara 110 – 600 Ωm. Hasil estimasi ini menunjukkan jalur dolomit dari arah timur laut-barat daya, timur-barat, dan barat laut-tenggara.

Abstract. The effects of the solar wind dynamic pressure (P), the z component of the solar wind magnetic field (Bz), the merging electric field (Em), season and the Kp index on R1 and R2 field-aligned currents are studied statistically using magnetic field data from the CHAMP satellite during 2001–2005. The ionospheric and field-aligned currents are determined from the magnetic field data by the recently developed 1-D Spherical Elementary Current System (SECS) method. During southward IMF, increasing |Bz| is observed to clearly increase the total field-aligned current, while during northward IMF, the amount of field-aligned current remains fairly constant regardless of |Bz|. The dependence of the field-aligned current on Bz is given by |Ir[MA]|=0.054·Bz[nT]2−0.34·Bz[nT]+2.4. With increasing P, the intensity of the field-aligned current is also found to increase according to |Ir[MA]|=0.62·P[nPa]+1.6, and the auroral oval is observed to move equatorward. Increasing Em produces similar behaviour, described by |Ir[MA]|=1.41·Em[mV/m]+1.4. While the absolute intensity of the ionospheric current is stronger during negative than during positive Bz, the relative change in the intensity of the currents produced by a more intense solar wind dynamic pressure is observed to be approximately the same regardless of the Bz direction. Increasing Kp from 0 to ≥5 widens the auroral oval and moves it equatorward from between 66°–74° AACGM latitude to 59°–71° latitude. The total field aligned current as a function of Kp is given by |Ir[MA]|=1.1·Kp+0.6. In agreement with previous studies, total field-aligned current in the summer is found to be 1.4 times stronger than in the winter.
