Abstract

The possibility of applying the continuous wavelet analysis on the basis of a Poissonian core for the processing and interpretation of gravity and magnetic survey data is considered. Based on the wavelet spectrum, W(x,h), reconstruction of the initial signal, g(x), is possible. Additionally, based on this wavelet spectrum, the equivalent distributions of mass and magnetization that produce the initial field, g(x), can be reconstructed. These possibilities allow the wavelet transform to be used for solving such classical problems as the filtering of initial signals, continuation of the field, calculation of higher field derivatives in the upper and lower half-spaces, and reduction of magnetic anomalies to the pole.
