Apparent Susceptibility Calculation Filter

Use the Apparent Susceptibility Calculation option to apply a Fast-Fourier Transform Apparent Susceptibility filter to a channel.

The filter option is available with the following extensions and menus:

  • Geophysics: 1D FFT > 1D Filtering
  • Gravity and Terrain Correction: Moving Platform Gravity  > Apply Single FFT Filter

Application Notes

A susceptibility filter is actually a compound filter that performs a reduction to the pole, downward continuation to the source depth, correction for the geometric effect of a vertical square-ended prism, and division by the total magnetic field to yield susceptibility. An optional Butterworth low-pass filter may also be applied to remove noise from the data.

The susceptibility filter calculates the apparent magnetic susceptibility of the magnetic sources using the following assumptions:

  • The magnetic field has had the IGRF removed.

  • There is no remnant magnetization.

  • All magnetic response is caused by a collection of vertical prisms of infinite depth extent.

  • The result is in unit of S.I.

The validity of the results is naturally subject to how well the actual observed field conforms to these assumptions.
