Czechoslovak Journal of Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The complete time-domain fields due to a vertical magnetic dipole on the surface of two-layer earth model are reexamined when the usually neglected magnetic permeability contrast is considered using the natural-frequency concept. It is shown that for two-layered earth model, where the upper one is permeable, the electromagnetic induction response is modified with respect to the nonpermeable case. The step responses of the induced voltage in a horizontal receiving loop is found to have definite diagnostic features for the ground beneath. These features have been demonstrated by numerical results and illustrated by figures.
