Summary
A simple transformation called pseudo-magnetic transformation is introduced in which the horizontal derivatives of the observed gravity anomalies of any body will be calculated. These horizontal derivatives, called the pseudo-magnetic anomalies, are proportional to the vertical magnetic anomalies of the same body assumed to be polarised horizontally. It is shown that the interpretation of gravity anomalies of dykes is not unique except by computing the pseudo-magnetic anomalies, which will be interpreted by the logarithmic curve fitting technique indicated earlier [5]2).
