pure and applied geophysics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

A theoretical solution is obtained for the problem of a three and four layered earth model with transitional boundary. In practice, the transition layer can stand for fresh water bearing sand and fine gravels. The master curves for Schlumberger electrode configuration and table of data are presented for the case when the lower half space is infinitely resistive.
