Summary

Quantitative interpretation of SP anomalies due to vertical and nearly vertical, thin sheets of infinite horizontal extension has been developed in this paper. The methods proposed utilise selective SP values at some selected points on the profile thus enabling us to get the different parameters of the causative body directly. Also, for the case of vertical sheet, an interpretation technique has been formulated when the base station is within the zone of influence of the potential field of the causative body.
