경제적이며 정확한 3차원 전자탐사 모델링을 위해 위해 Habashy et al. (1993)에 의해 제안된 국소 비선형 근사(localized nonlinear approximation)를 이용하여 전자탐사 모델링 알고리듬을 개발하였다. 전자탐사 수치모델링시 많은 계산시간 및 기억용량을 필요로 하는 Green 텐서 적분을 정확하고 빠르게 계산하기 위해, 단일 미소체를 이용한 공간파수 영역에서의 Green 텐서 적분 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 더욱이 Green 텐서의 송수신 방향 및 상반성을 고려하여 각각의 미소체에 의한 전체 미소체에의 Green 텐서 적분을 한 개의 미소체에 의한 전체 미소체에의 Green 텐서 적분 값으로 구하게 하므로 매우 적은 기억용량 만으로 Green 텐서 적분 행렬을 구성할 수 있어, 역산법에 효과적으로 적용할 수 있다. 이 수치 모델링 알고리듬을 기본으로 하여 평활화 제한을 가한 최소자승 역산 알고리듬을 개발하였다. 이 역산 알고리듬을 지표 전자탐사 및 시추공-지표 전자탐사 등에 적용하여 PC에서도 빠르게 3차원 전자탐사 역산이 수행됨을 보였다.

Airborne transient electromagnetic (ATEM) surveying was introduced several decades ago in the mining industry to detect shallow conductive targets. However, conventional ATEM systems have limited depth of investigation because of weak signal strength. Recently, the grounded electrical source airborne transient electromagnetic (GREATEM) system was proposed to increase the depth of investigation. The GREATEM is a semi-airborne transient electromagnetic system because a long grounded wire is used as the transmitter. Traditionally, ATEM sounding data have been interpreted with 1D earth models to save the computing time because modern ATEM systems generally collect large data sets. However, the GREATEM 1D modeling requires numerical integration along the wire, so it takes much more time than the 1D modeling of conventional ATEM. In this study, the adaptive Born forward mapping (ABFM) was applied to the ATEM 1D modeling because the ABFM is incommensurably faster than the ordinary GREATEM 1D modeling. Comparing the results from ordinary and ABFM 1D modeling, it was confirmed that the ABFM can be applied to the 1D modeling of GEATEM.

자기지전류 탐사의 적용에 있어 인공잡음의 영향은 탐사의 승패를 좌우하는 중요한 요소이며 인공잡음의 영향을 최소화할 수 있는 탐사의 설계와 자료처리가 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 수치공간자료를 이용한 공간모델링을 통해 MT 주파수 대역에서의 잡음을 예측하고 실제 탐사 자료와 비교분석하여 MT 잡음 모델링을 가능성을 살펴보았다. 수치지도로부터 추출된 잡음원일 가능성이 높은 건물, 도로, 고압 송전선에 의해 발생하는 전자기장의 강도를 지하매질의 전기전도도에 따른 전자기파의 전파 특성을 고려하여 예측하는 잡음모델을 제안하였다. 제안된 잡음모델로부터 예측된 잡음 파워와 실제 탐사를 통해 측정된 MT 자료와의 상관도 분석을 수행한 결과, 전반적으로 전기장에서는 넓은 주파수 대역에서 높은 상관관계를 보이는 반면 자기장은 60 Hz 부근의 대역에서만 상관관계를 가진다. 본 연구에서 제안된 공간모델링을 통한 잡음 예측은 특히 고도로 산업화되어가는 도시 주변지역에서의 MT 탐사를 수행하는데 있어 유용한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

The small-loop electromagnetic technique has been used successfully for many geophysical qualitative investigations, particularly for shallow engineering and environmental surveys. Recently, various geophysical imaging methods based on numerical modeling and inversion have been tried in order to get more quantitative subsurface structure. However, conventional 2.5D small loop EM modeling takes a lot of time because responses should be calculated for several wave numbers and transformed into space domain. In this study, we developed a 2.5D HCP small loop EM modeling algorithm using extended Born approximation, which does not require transformation. Also, we checked its validity by comparison with other numerical results.

Interpretation of time-domain electromagnetic (TEM) data has been made mostly based on one-dimensional (1-D) inversion scheme in Korea. A proper interpretation of TEM data should employ 3-D TEM forward and inverse modeling algorithms. This study developed a 3-D TEM modeling algorithm using a finite difference time-domain (FDTD) method with staggered grid. In numerically solving Maxwell equations, fictitious displacement current is included based on an explicit FDTD method using a central difference approximation scheme. The developed modeling algorithm simulated a small-coil source configuration to be verified against analytic solutions for homogeneous half-space models. Further, TEM responses for a 3-D anomaly are modeled and analyzed. We expect that it will contribute greatly to the precise interpretation of TEM data.

Development of a modeling technique for accurately interpreting electromagnetic (EM) data is increasingly required. We introduce finite difference (FD) and finite-element (FE) methods for three-dimensional (3D) frequency-domain EM modeling. In the controlled-source EM methods, formulating the governing equations into a secondary electric field enables us to avoid a singularity problem at the source point. The secondary electric field is discretized using the FD or FE methods for the model region. We represent iterative and direct methods to solve the system of equations resulting from the FD or FE schemes. By applying the static divergence correction in the iterative method, the rate of convergence is dramatically improved, and it is particularly useful to compute a model including surface topography in the FD method. Finally, as an example of an airborne EM survey, we present 3D modeling using the FD method.

We describe the concept of the singularity in the integral equation of electromagnetic (EM) modeling in comparison with that in the integral representation of electric fields in EM theory, which would clarify the singular integral problems of the Green's tensor. We have also derived and classified the singular integrals of the Green's tensors in 3-D, 2.5-D and 2-D as well as in the thin sheet integral equations of the EM scattering problem, which have the most important effect on the accuracy of the numerical solution of the problems.

We analyzed response patterns of test field data acquired with new small loop electromagnetic (EM) system using three-dimensional (3D) electromagnetic modeling code. The size and shape of a conductor was adopted as experimental parameters for EM modeling to understand influencing factors of the response patterns due to a metallic object on the seafloor. Obtaining the responses for four models of difference sizes and shapes through 3D EM modeling, we confirmed that the shape of the object have a more critical factor on the response pattern than size. We also calculated "ppm" values with respect to different altitudes of the sensor and source frequencies. The modeling results show that the consistency of sensor altitude is important and imaginary part of ppm response is more sensitive than real part. We also visualized the contour map of the real and imaginary part of ppm value as a function of frequency and altitude so that we can estimate proper altitude for source frequency band of our survey system. The results of this paper are anticipated to give proper parameters in survey construction for seafloor massive sulfide deposit.

We present a new approximate formulation of the integral equation (IE) method for models with variable background conductivity. This method overcomes the standard limitation of the conventional If method related to the use of a horizontally layered background only. The new approximate IE method still employs the Green's functions for a horizontally layered 1-D model. However, the new method allows us to use an inhomogeneous background with the IE method. The method was carefully tested for modeling the EM field for complex structures with a known variable background conductivity. It can find wide application in modeling EM data for multiple geological models with some common geoelectrical features, like a known inhomogeneous overburden, or salt dome structures.
