the normalized full gradient (nfg) method defined by berezkin (1967, 1973 and 1998) is used for downward continuation maps. analytical downward continuation is a method to estimate the field closer to the source and consequently results in a better resolution of underground rock distribution. however, the usefulness of this process is limited by the fact that the operation is extremely sensitiv...

the problem of downward continuation of the gravity field from the earth’s surface to the reference ellipsoid arises from the fact that the solution to the boundary value problem for geoid determination without applying stokes formula is sought in terms of the disturbing potential on the ellipsoid but the gravity observations are only available on the earth’s surface. downward continuation is a...

this paper describes an efficient edge-preserved regularization algorithm for downward continuation of magnetic data in detection of unexploded ordnance (uxo). the magnetic anomalies arising from multi-source uxo can overlap at a height over the ground surface, while causative sources may not be readily separated due to low level of signal-to-noise ratio of the observed data. to effectively the...

the methods applied to regularization of the ill-posed problems can be classified under “direct” and “indirect” methods. practice has shown that the effects of different regularization techniques on an ill-posed problem are not the same, and as such each ill-posed problem requires its own investigation in order to identify its most suitable regularization method. in the geoid computations witho...

linear filters are used for a wide range of magnetic science including noise attenuation, spatial derivatives, upward and downward continuation and reduction to the pole. the majority of these filters are spatially-invariant, meaning that the filter has a constant wave number response over the whole signal. in contrast, many signals which encountered real problems such as magnetic signals, typi...

One way of developing a wave-equation approach to seismic imaging is based on the concept of downward continuation of the surface reflection data. Seismic imaging is typically based on the single scattering approximation, and assumes the knowledge of a, smooth, background model in which the mentioned downward continuation is carried out. The downward continued data are subjected, at each depth,...
