The validity of magnetotelluric time-series processing methods has been lacking reasonable testing criteria. Since the time series synthesized by existing techniques are not fully derived from a given model, they reliable. In this paper, we present novel approach to synthesize based on forward modeling and correspondence between frequency domain electromagnetic fields. approach, obtain response...

Following the electric current injection experiment carried out in 2009, a VLF-MT (Very Low Frequency Magnetotelluric) survey has been conducted in Kozu-shima Island to obtain further information on the subterranean electrical structure that might help understanding the results of our monitoring of geoelectric potentials. A number of VAN-type pre-seismic geoelectric potential anomalies were obs...

S U M M A R Y A new robust magnetotelluric (MT) data processing algorithm is described, involving Siegel estimation on the basis of a repeated median (RM) algorithm for maximum protection against the influence of outliers and large errors. The spectral transformation is performed by means of a fast Fourier transformation followed by segment coherence sorting. To remove outliers and gaps in the ...

S U M M A R Y An inversion algorithm which takes into account the varying geometry in magnetotelluric models is considered. The particular problem of estimating the shape of the interface between two different conductivities is studied. This boundary is represented by an implicit function and its parameters are calculated in the inversion process. The assumption of using such a function allows ...
