1.
Prof.Dr.Bruno Meurers: Potential Field Continuation
between Irregular Surfaces - Problems and Applications
Lecturer: B. Meurers
Address: Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics, University
of Vienna (Austria)
Althanstrasse 14, UZA II, A – 1090 Wien, Austria
e-mail: bruno.meurers@univie.ac.at
Duration: half day course (3-4 hrs)
Course description:
Investigating the temporal variations of potential fields
observed at different epochs on different surfaces or the
comparison of potential fields acquired on different surfaces
require methods for predicting the potential field at arbitrary
locations in the 3D-space. Potential field continuation between
irregular surfaces is able to solve these problems. Many methods
available today are based on the equivalent source principle
and enable field continuation into the space above the equivalent
sources. Those using equivalent sources stratified on topography
(e.g. Hansen and Miyazaki 1984, Ivan 1994) are most suitable.
Generally, all methods suffer from the fact, that potential
field information is only known at discrete points within
a limited area.
The course focuses on the sampling and truncation problem
by investigating synthetic case studies based on the method
of Ivan (1994) and presents applications in aeromagnetic data
processing.
Lecturer:
B. Meurers is Associate Professor at University of Vienna.
His general scientific interest is potential field theory
and gravimetry. Recent and present research activity is focusing
on temporal variations of the earth’s gravity field,
anomalous gravity field determination in rugged terrain and
potential field interpretation. B. Meurers has joined the
editorial board of Geophysical Prospecting as Associate Editor
(Gravimetry and Magnetics) between 1993 and 2002.
Attendance at the lecture:
This lecture is prepared for attendants dealing with potential
field processing and interpretation in practical work as well
as for students on graduate and postgraduate level. Basic
knowledge on application of potential theory in geophysics
is required.
