DEVELOPMENT OF PHASOR TENSOR BASED ALGORITHM FOR ANALYSIS OF MAGNETOTELLURICS DATA OF GARHWAL HIMALAYAN REGION

Abstract

The Phasor Tensor method for the analysis of Magnetotellurics data is used to determine the electrical properties distribution in the subsurface, which was introduced by the Caidwell-Bibby-Brown in 2004. This particular method is free from the mandatory assumptions which are to be made in other methods. It does not require assumption for the dimensionality of regional structure. The code was developed in MATLAB programming language. Then, the code has been verified with the published results. The graphical representation of phasor tensor which is an ellipse gives idea about the lateral conductivity variation and the dimensionality of the subsurface features.
