Abstract

Due to dipolar nature of magnetic anomaly, symmetric causative magnetic bodies located anywhere other than magnetic poles produce asymmetric anomaly, which causes complicated interpretation. Using RTP technique these asymmetric anomalies are converted to that are observed in magnetic poles. This technique is usually utilized in the frequency domain in which induces noise in dataset. Other limitation is restricting the application of the algorithm to regions with constant geomagnetic inclination and declination. Various algorithms have been devised to solve this problem. In this regard, the method based on Taylor’s series expansion of RTP data in mean value of inclination and declination in studied area has been devised. This method has been applied on magnetic data from Siriz Iron ore mine and their results are compared to the frequency domain RTP.
