| Abstract: | The calculable magnitudes of the anomalous magnetic field from simple 2D sources and their gradients and Laplacians appear as ratios that can be synthesized in functional forms, corresponding to the different source shapes. Field components and first‐order derivatives are involved in the inversion procedures presented. The structural index and source depth are estimated independently of each other. The applied functions allow magnetic profiles and magnetic maps to be shape‐ and depth‐converted with immediate imaging of the inversion results. The contours of these functions outline elongated loops around the 2.5D anomaly axis on magnetic maps. The width of the loops reflects the depth and structural index N of the source in the scale units of the inverted map. Model and field tests illustrate the effectiveness of this approach for fast automatic inversion of large sets of magnetic data for depth, shape, length and location of simple sources. |
