pure and applied geophysics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Some direct and quantitative methods of SP anomalies caused by some specific geometric bodies have been developed in this paper. The models of current sources which have been considered are i) single pole, ii) a doublet, iii) a pair of single point poles separated by a horizontal distance, iv) single finite line pole, v) single infinite line pole and vi) two similar double infinite vertical line poles separated by a horizontal distance.
