Wavenumber correlation analysis of satellite magnetometer observations

Identifying anomaly correlations between data sets is the basis for rationalizing geopotenial interpretation and theory. A procedure between the two or more geopotential data sets. Anomaly features that show direct, inverse, or no correlationsbetween the data may be separated by applying filters in the frequency domains of the data sets. The correlation filter passes or rejects wavenumbers between co-registered data sets based on the correlation coefficient between common wavenumbers as given by the cosine of their phase difference. This study includes as example of Magsat magnetic anomaly profile that illustrates the usefulness of the procedure for extracting correlative features between the sets.
