Separation filtering of regional and residual gravity and magnetic fields has been the subject of extensive research. Wavenumber and spatial domain methods, variously described as matched filtering, layer filtering, depth slices etc. have been developed Separation or layer filtering of magnetic data allows us to deconvolve the effects of causative sources occurring around a particular level. In practice, it is impossible to achieve a complete separation since the problem is non-linear. Separation filtering depends fundamentally on the concept of random distributions of sources within discrete layers and assumes that there is no statistical difference in response along each ideal layer and no correlation between the distribution in each layer.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
